### Structure
The parameters of the structure supporting the PV modules.
- StructureType: which type of structure for the PV modules
- Material: used to apply texture to the structure (e.g. Wood, Metal)
- PanelsPerGroup: Number of panels per pole in the structure
- PoleShape: shape of the pole profile (Square, Rectangle, Cylinder)
- PoleWidth: Pole size along x (used in case of square or rectangular pole)
- PoleHeight: Pole size along y (used in case of square or rectangular pole)
- PoleSide: Pole side length (used in case of square pole)
- PoleRadius: Pole radius (used in case of cylindrical pole)
- PoleLength: Pole size along z
- PoleGroundPositioning: vertical positioning of the pole relative to the ground (0 is flush with the ground, negative values mean the pole base is below ground level)
- PurlinShape: shape of the purlin profile (Square, Rectangle, Cylinder)
- PurlinWidth: purlin size along x (used in case of square or rectangular purlin)
- PurlinHeight: purlin size along y (used in case of square or rectangular purlin)
- PurlinSide: Purlin side length (used in case of square purlin)
- PurlinRadius: Purlin radius (used in case of cylindrical purlin)
- StructureSpacingY: Spacing along Y (interpreted by spacing_mode)
- StructureHeight: Structure height
