TButtJoint

class compas_timber.connections.TButtJoint

Bases: ButtJoint

Represents a T-Butt type joint which joins the end of a beam along the length of another beam, trimming the main beam.

This joint type is compatible with beams in T topology.

Please use TButtJoint.create() to properly create an instance of this class and associate it with a model.

Parameters:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

mill_depthfloat

The depth of the pocket to be milled in the cross beam.

butt_planePlane, optional

The plane used to cut the main beam. If not provided, the closest side of the cross beam will be used.

fastenerFastener, optional

The fastener to be used in the joint.

Attributes:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

mill_depthfloat

The depth of the pocket to be milled in the cross beam.
