YButtJoint

class compas_timber.connections.YButtJoint

Bases: Joint

Represents a Y-Butt type joint which joins the ends of three beams, trimming the main beam with a double cut and the cross beams with a miter cut.

Please use YButtJoint.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_beamslist of Beam

The cross beams to be joined.

mill_depthfloat

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

Attributes:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamsBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

mill_depthfloat

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

Methods

add_extensions	Calculates and adds the necessary extensions to the beams.
add_features	Adds the required extension and trimming features to both beams.
check_elements_compatibility	Checks if the elements are compatible for the creation of the joint.
cross_beam_ref_side_index
get_miter_planes
main_beam_ref_side_index
restore_beams_from_keys	After de-serialization, restores references to the main and cross beams saved in the model.
