Deconstruct Object

- [source code]

Deconstruct any Honeybee geometry object into all of its constituent Honeybee objects.

This is useful for editing auto-generated child objects separately from their parent. For example, if you want to move all of the overhangs that were auto-generated for a Room downward in order to turn them into light shelves, this component can give you all of such shades. Then you can move the shades and assign them back to the original shade-less Room object.
