Fastener

class compas_timber.elements.Fastener

Bases: Element

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:

shapeGeometry, optional

The geometry of the fastener.

transformationTransformation, optional

The transformation of the fastener.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments.

Attributes:

shapeGeometry

The geometry of the fastener.

transformationTransformation

The transformation of the fastener.

interfaceslist

A list of interfaces associated with this fastener.

attributesdict

Dictionary of attributes for this fastener.

debug_infolist

A list of debug information.

is_fastenerbool

Always True for fasteners.

keyint or None

The graph node key of this fastener.

Methods

compute_elementgeometry

Returns the geometry of the fastener in the model.

Inherited Methods
