Dump Objects

- [source code]

Dump any dragonfly object to a JSON file. You can use "DF Load Objects" component to load the objects from the file back into Grasshopper.

This includes any Model, Building, Story, Room2D, WindowParameter, or ShadingParameter.

It also includes any energy Material, Construction, ConstructionSet, Schedule, Load, ProgramType, or Simulation object.

  A list of Dragonfly objects to be written to a file.

• indent

  An optional positive integer to set the indentation used in the resulting JSON file.
