Create a State object representing a single dynamic group state.

### Inputs

* #### modifier

A Honeybee Radiance Modifier object to be applied to this state's parent in this state. This is used to swap out the modifier in multi-phase studies. If None, it will be the parent's default modifier.

* #### shades

An optional array of StateGeometry objects to be included with this state.

### Outputs

* #### state

A Honeybee State object representing a single dynamic group state. This can be assigned to apertures or shades using the "HB Dynamic Aperture Group" componet or the "HB Dynamic Shade Group" component.
