# Deconstruct Object ![](/files/-Ma9gLwS1jMFj8UWC_Mj) ![](/files/-MihrbHuE7NVR02blkD9) - [\[source code\]](https://github.com/ladybug-tools/dragonfly-grasshopper/blob/master/dragonfly_grasshopper/src//DF%20Deconstruct%20Object.py) Deconstruct any Dragonfly geometry object into its unique constituent Dragonfly objects. This is useful for editing auto-generated child objects separately from their parent. For example, if you want to assign all of the ground floors of a given auto-generated Building to have a Retail ProgramType, this can give you all of such Stories. Then you can assign a Retail ProgramType to them and combine them with the other Stories into a new Building. ## Inputs * **df\_obj \[Required]** A Dragonfly Building, Story or Room2D to be deconstructed into its constituent objects. Note that, Room2Ds do not have sub-objects assigned to them and the original object will be output. ## Outputs * **stories** The unique Story objects that make up the input \_df\_obj. This includes unique Stories that make up input Buildings as well as any input orphaned Stories. * **room2ds** The unique Room2D objects that make up the input \_df\_obj. This includes any unique Room2Ds assigned to input Stories or Buildings as well as any input orphaned Room2Ds. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
