Fastener

class compas_timber.elements.Fastener

Bases: TimberElement

A class to represent timber fasteners (screws, dowels, brackets).

TODO: we should rethink this class. it is not entirely clear if it’s an abstract class or a generic fastener. It inherits from TimberElement/Element but does not implement the appropriate methods.

Parameters:

geometryGeometry

The geometry of the fastener.

frameFrame

The frame of the fastener.

Attributes:

geometryGeometry

The geometry of the fastener.

frameFrame

The frame of the fastener.

Methods

compute_geometry

returns the geometry of the fastener in the model

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
add_feature	Add a feature to the list of features of the lement.
compute_aabb	Computes the Axis Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) of the element.
compute_collision_mesh	Computes the collision geometry of the element.
compute_obb	Computes the Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) of the element.
compute_worldtransformation	Compute the transformation to world coordinates of this element based on its position in the spatial hierarchy of the model.
copy	Make an independent copy of the data object.
from_json	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
from_jsonstring	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
reset	Resets the element to its initial state by removing all features, extensions, and debug_info.
sha256	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
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.
transform	Transforms the element.
transformed	Creates a transformed copy of the element.
validate_data	Validate the data against the object's data schema.
