Unpacking Results

	Component	Description
	Unpack Model	Unpacks the Asterisk model into geometry & data
	Edge Data	Retrieves edges and all of the data on those edges
	Edges By Typology	Dispatches edges into separate streams based on edge type

Model

To get at the geometry of the data returned from the Asterisk Server, you will need to use the Unpack Model component. This will get you various objects:

Outputs	Description
Nodes	Points of end-to-end connection of beams and columns within the structural wireframe
Edges	Asterisk Edge objects that will be unpacked further, contains beams and columns
Massings	The massings of the iteration in mesh format
Core	The cores of the iteration in mesh format

Edges

Edges can be unpacked further using one of the two Edge components.

Edges By Typology

Arguably the quickest of the two to understand: dispatches edges by edge type.

Colors set by user

Result of edge type

Edge Data

Sends all edges in a single stream with data in parallel which can be used to annotate/dispatch elements as needed. When combined with the set & remap components, an easy way to retrieve and illustrate the iteration’s structural data.
