Shaft¶
A shaft is the straight cylindrical section used throughout the support system.
What it is¶
- A straight cylinder between endpoints.
- The load-bearing span between joints, knots, roots, or tip interfaces.
Geometry¶
- The body remains straight for a single segment.
- Diameter is defined per segment from settings.
Behavior¶
- Endpoint movement updates the shaft's orientation and length.
- Shafts can host joints or knots depending on the support type.
Constraints¶
- No taper is allowed across a joint.
- Curved behavior is handled by separate features, not by the shaft primitive itself.
