ClippedExtrusion

class compas_ifc.representations.ClippedExtrusion(extrusion, clipping_planes, name=None)

Bases: Geometry

An extrusion clipped by one or more half-space planes.

Directly corresponds to a chain of IfcBooleanClippingResult entities with Operator=DIFFERENCE. The leaf FirstOperand is an IfcExtrudedAreaSolid and each SecondOperand is an IfcHalfSpaceSolid.

Preserves all parametric data: the base extrusion profile, direction, depth and frame, plus every clipping plane with its agreement flag.

Parameters:

extrusionExtrusion

The base extrusion being clipped.

clipping_planeslist[tuple[Plane, bool]]

Each entry is (plane, agreement_flag). plane defines the clipping surface. agreement_flag True means the solid is on the same side as the plane normal; False means the opposite side.

namestr, optional

Optional name for the geometry.

Attributes:

extrusionExtrusion

The base extrusion.

clipping_planeslist[tuple[Plane, bool]]

Clipping planes with agreement flags.

namestr or None

Optional name.
