TButtJoint

class compas_timber.connections.TButtJoint[source]

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 an model.

Parameters:

Attributes:

Methods

`add_extensions`	Calculates and adds the necessary extensions to the beams.
`add_features`	Adds the trimming plane to the main beam (no features for the cross beam).
`restore_beams_from_keys`	After de-serialization, restores references to the main and cross beams saved in the model.

Inherited Methods

`ToString`	Converts the instance to a string.
`back_surface_main`
`calc_params_birdsmouth`	Calculate the parameters for a birdsmouth joint.
`copy`	Make an independent copy of the data object.
`create`	Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in model.
`from_json`	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
`from_jsonstring`	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
`front_back_surface_main`
`get_face_most_ortho_to_beam`	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal is most orthogonal to beam_a.
`get_face_most_towards_beam`	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal most faces beam_a.
`get_main_cutting_plane`
`sha256`	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
`side_surfaces_cross`
`subtraction_volume`	Returns the volume to be subtracted from the cross beam.
`to_json`	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON file.
`to_jsonstring`	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON string.
`validate_data`	Validate the data against the object's data schema.
