What do you need to know about surfaces in contact with the ground, when modeling in Open Studio?

Hello,

i am modeling a building in Sketchup using the OS plugin. I want to understand how to corectly model ground surfaces in OS, because you have more than one outside boundary condition option for ground surfaces. What is the difference if i use Ground or GroundFCfactorMethod as an outside boundary condition(or some other boundary condition for a ground surface)? Because it seems that in OS there is no difference, so what happens in EP?

Tnx,

David

Addition to question: Which outside boundary conditions relating to ground surfaces that are listed in OS are functional (it seems that only Ground and FCfactor method are operable in OS)?
