Show ST-Bridge model

This section explains how to load and display the STB model in Grasshopper. Please refer to the model in ShowStbModel.gh in the Samples folder for this content.

Load the STB file​

When you open the file, it should look like this: Right-click on the path component and select Select one existing file, then select the stb file you want to visualize.
If there are no errors in loading, the Load STB data component next to it will convert the data. Connect this output to the visualization components to visualize the information in the Rhino viewport.
