BH.oM.Adapters.Revit.Elements.ModelInstance

A generic wrapper BHoM type corresponding to any view-independent Revit element (model elements, e.g. duct or beam). On Push it can be used to generate or update Revit model elements that do not have a correspondent BHoM type, on Pull all Revit model elements that do not have explicit Convert method for given discipline will be converted to ModelInstance.
