find_neighboring_beams
- compas_timber.connections.find_neighboring_beams(beams, inflate_by=0.0)[source]
Finds neighboring pairs of beams in the given list of beams, using R-tree search.
The inputs to the R-tree algorithm are the axis-aligned bounding boxes of the beams (beam.aabb), enlarged by the inflate_by amount. The returned elements are sets containing pairs of Beam objects.
- Parameters:
- beamslist(
Beam) The list of beams in which neighboring beams should be identified.
- inflate_byoptional, float
A value in design units by which the regarded bounding boxes should be inflated.
- beamslist(
- Returns:
- list(set(
Beam,Beam))
- list(set(
Notes
This is a pluggable. In order to use this function, a compatible plugin has to be available. For example, in Rhino, the function
find_neighboring_beams()will be used.
