PocketProxy

class compas_timber.fabrication.PocketProxy[source]

Bases: object

This object behaves like a Pocket except it only calculates the machining parameters once unproxified. Can also be used to defer the creation of the processing instance until it is actually needed.

Until then, it can be used to visualize the machining operation. This slightly improves performance.

Parameters:

volumePolyhedron or Brep or Mesh: The volume of the pocket. Must have 6 faces.
elementBeam or Plate: The element that is cut by this instance.
machining_limitsdict, optional: The machining limits for the cut. Default is None.
ref_side_indexint, optional: The index of the reference side of the element. Default is 0.

Returns:

Pocket: The Pocket feature.

Methods

`apply`	Apply the feature to the beam geometry.
`from_volume_and_element`	Construct a Pocket feature from a volume and a TimberElement.
`unproxified`	Returns the unproxified processing instance.
