Pipe

class compas_ifc.representations.Pipe(directrix, radius, inner_radius=None, name=None)

Bases: Geometry

A swept disk solid: circular cross-section swept along a directrix curve.

Directly corresponds to IfcSweptDiskSolid. Preserves the parametric data (directrix path, radius) that is lost when ifcopenshell evaluates the shape into tessellated or OCC geometry.

Parameters:

directrixPolyline

The 3D curve along which the circular disk is swept.

radiusfloat

Outer radius of the circular disk.

inner_radiusfloat, optional

Inner radius for hollow pipes (annular cross-section). None for solid pipes.

namestr, optional

Optional name for the pipe.

Attributes:

directrixPolyline

radiusfloat

inner_radiusfloat or None

namestr or None
