Write a Honeybee Model to a Radiance Model Folder.

This Radiance Model Folder is what is used to run various types of Radiance studies off of a consistent set of geometry and modifiers.

### Inputs

* #### model \[Required]

A honeybee model object possessing all geometry, radiance modifiers and simulation assets like Sensor Grids and Views.

* #### minimal

Boolean to note whether the radiance strings should be written in a minimal format (with spaces instead of line breaks). (Default: False).

* #### folder

Path to a folder to into which the Model Radiance Folder will be written. If unspecified, it will be written to a sub-folder within the default simulation folder.

* #### write \[Required]

Set to True to write the Model to a Radiance folder.

### Outputs

* #### report

Reports, errors, warnings, etc.

* #### folder

Path to the folder in which all of the files have been written.
