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_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.
set_frame_and_outline

Inherited Methods

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.
