How to generate gbXML from BHoM

Pull information from Revit. Create the components from step 1 in the GIF and connect them to each other.
Modify your BHoM Objects in any user interface (Grasshopper or Dynamo). You have to explode your objects and connect them like they are connected in step 2 in the GIF in order to display your geometry.
Push your final result by connecting your objects (building or spaces) to the push component. Enter file name and filepath. When the script has run you will find the gbXML file in the folder you specified.
