Detailed Description

The Structure object and tools.

This module provides tools to build Structure objects. Structure elements are beams, columns, slabs, and other elements that have a structural function, that is, that support other parts of the building.

Function Documentation

makeStructuralSystem()

def ArchStructure.makeStructuralSystem	(		objects = [],
			axes = [],
			name = "StructuralSystem"
	)

makeStructuralSystem(objects,axes): makes a structural system
based on the given objects and axes

makeStructure()

def ArchStructure.makeStructure	(		baseobj = None,
			length = None,
			width = None,
			height = None,
			name = "Structure"
	)

makeStructure([obj],[length],[width],[height],[swap]): creates a
structure element based on the given profile object and the given
extrusion height. If no base object is given, you can also specify
length and width for a cubic object.

placeAlongEdge()

def ArchStructure.placeAlongEdge	(		p1,
			p2,
			horizontal = False
	)

placeAlongEdge(p1,p2,[horizontal]): returns a Placement positioned at p1, with Z axis oriented towards p2.
If horizontal is True, then the X axis is oriented towards p2, not the Z axis
