Does it recommend to let the wires pass through a structure?

[ThunderBird]

Hi,
If the data is needed in the structure, we need the wires pass through the structure. Is it good if we let the wires pass through the structure only for saving space or make the wire routing easier?
Thanks.

Maybe I don't quite understand what you mean, but unless a wire is actually needed inside a structure, you should probably pass it around it. It will make the diagram more logical, easier to read, and easier to debug.

In terms of performance, it will not make a difference in most cases. LabVIEW is smart enough to notice what really happens.

You may also wish to have a look at the LabVIEW style guide.
It addressed many issues, including that specific question (it says it's preferable to wire around the structure).
