# Building from Stories

![](/files/-Mihrcnsqiret5gpFzvW)

![](/files/-MihrbHwmqlppCgOfG4W) - [\[source code\]](https://github.com/ladybug-tools/dragonfly-grasshopper/blob/master/dragonfly_grasshopper/src//DF%20Building%20from%20Stories.py)

Create a Dragonfly Building from individual Dragonfly Story objects.

## Inputs

* **stories \[Required]**

  A list of Dragonfly Story objects to be joined into one Building. 
* **multipliers**

  An optional list of integers with the same length as the input \_stories, which will be used to override any existing multipliers on the input Story objects. This integer denotes the number of times that each Story is repeated over the height of the building. If nothing is input here, the multipliers on the existing Story objects will remain. 
* **name**

  Text to set the name for the Building, which will also be incorporated into unique Building identifier. If the name is not provided a random one will be assigned. 
* **constr\_set**

  Text for the construction set of the Building, which is used to assign all default energy constructions needed to create an energy model. Text should refer to a ConstructionSet within the library such as that output from the "HB List Construction Sets" component. This can also be a custom ConstructionSet object. If nothing is input here, the Building will have a generic construction set that is not sensitive to the Buildings's climate or building energy code. 

## Outputs

* **report**

  Reports, errors, warnings, etc. 
* **building**

  Dragonfly Building.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ladybug.tools/dragonfly-primer/components/0_create/building_from_stories.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
