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.
