'Baking' Elements from GH to ArchiCAD

Hi folks,
Yet another simple (and basic) question.
I have a written a script in Grasshopper that basically generates a façade in front of a wall. I am happy with the result and now want to 'bake' the objects into ArchiCAD (as I would in Rhino), that is to say, make them permanent. I know that I loose the parametric functionality at this point and I am fine with that. I know I could brake the connection, but I want to use the script on different parts of the model later (and purge the originally referenced walls from GH for faster computation). Which is the best way to do that? As I see it now any object generated from GH will always 'remember' that it is a GH object and hence be influenced by the script. And of course the bake command in GH will bake it the element to Rhino (where it is useless to me, unless of course I then would build a hotlink pipeline to AC but that seems way to complicated). Any advice/best practice?
Best,

Mayby "Save State..." is can solve this? It saves the positions of all the sliders and such.

It can be found under the Solution tab in Grasshopper.
