Plate

class compas_timber.elements.Plate

Bases: TimberElement

A class to represent timber plates (plywood, CLT, etc.) with uniform thickness.

Parameters:

outlineRhinoCurve

A line representing the outline of this plate.

thicknessfloat

Thickness of the plate material.

vectorVector, optional

The vector of the plate. Default is None.

Attributes:

frameFrame

The coordinate system (frame) of this plate.

shapeBrep

An extrusion representing the base geometry of this plate.

outlinePolyline

A line representing the outline of this plate.

thicknessfloat

Thickness of the plate material.

aabbtuple(float, float, float, float, float, float)

An axis-aligned bounding box of this plate as a 6 valued tuple of (xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax).

keyint, optional

Once plate is added to a model, it will have this model-wide-unique integer key.

Methods

add_feature	Adds a feature to the plate.
add_features	Adds one or more features to the plate.
compute_aabb	Computes the Axis Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) of the element.
compute_collision_mesh	Computes the collision geometry of the element.
compute_geometry	Compute the geometry of the element.
compute_obb	Computes the Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) of the element.
remove_features	Removes a feature from the plate.
side_as_surface	Returns the requested side of the beam as a parametric planar surface.

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
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.
remove_blank_extension
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.
