Export GSK file
The GSK file is a version of the model geometry which is used as an input to the suncalc engine for the parallel process enabled solar shading calculations. It is exported automatically when any relevant analysis is run but can also be output manually where it may be required for troubleshooting.
Below is a list of all the models that can be exported. Note most of these models have to be created by you in order to show up in the menu. What shows up also depends on what VE modules/licences you have installed.

Unlike the other options, this model is created on the fly. When you select the menu item you will be prompted to enter a grid size for your model to be exported at.
Enter a value of between 10cm and 10m to create a hi-resolution version of your model, or use a value of 0m to export it as is.
