[FEATURE] Beam end offsets #20

Closed errone92 closed 4 years ago

errone92 commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be good to be able to obtain the beam end offsets (ex, ey, ez) when reading geometry from an IdeaCon file. This will greatly help with finding the correct connection point when exporting so that the other elements (plates, bolts, etc.) are placed correctly. Basing the connection point off of only member centrelines or manual selection leads to inaccuracies.

Describe the solution you'd like It should be a property of the BeamData class.

Describe alternatives you've considered Knowing the connection position (start, end, centre) would also be helpful it obtaining the right connection point.

In the next version we plan to improve the export of connections from our application. We want to have a general solution.
