Merge openings from one gbXML file to another gbXML file without openings.

Environment:
	Windows: 10
	Anaconda Navigator: 1.9.12
	Python: 3.8
	Pip: 20.1.1
	xgbxml: 0.0.8
	topologic: 0.1.5

xgbxml (https://github.com/stevenkfirth/xgbxml ; https://pypi.org/project/xgbxml) development
topologic (https://test.pypi.org/project/topologicpy/)

# Schemas not installed by PIP
	-Advisory >> No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\admin\\anaconda3\\envs\\Test\\lib\\site-packages\\xgbxml\\schemas\\GreenBuildingXML_Ver0.37.xsd'
	-Corrective action >> Manually copied schemas from xgbxml github repo to the directory.

# CADModelAzimuth
	-Nominal CADModelAzimuth is 0.
	-In Revit true north was shifted 45 degrees east of project north to generate a change in CADModelAzimuth.
	-CADModelAzimuth did not change >> CADModelAzimuth is not linked to Revit true north.
	-In Revit project north was shifted 90 degrees east of true north to generate a change in CADModelAzimuth.
	-CADModelAzimuth did not change >> CADModelAzimuth is not linked to Revit project north >> CADModelAzimuth is constant 0 >> gbXML coordinates change as required.

# 'insert' gbxml_opening
	-gbxml_functions.py copy_Opening_to_Surface
	Line 823
		    # gbxml_opening2=copy(gbxml_opening)

			# set_shell_of_Opening(gbxml_opening2,
			#                       opening_shell_on_plane,
			#                       xsd_schema)

			# gbxml_surface.append(gbxml_opening2)
			gbxml_surface.insert(3, gbxml_opening)


			# return gbxml_opening2
			return gbxml_opening
	-No need to generate new opening data >> exterior wall planes match due to Revit gbXML based on Dynamo.
	-'insert' preserves gbXML structure >> 'append' does not preserve gbXML structure.

# Revit gbXML >> Surface >> RectangularGeometry >> CartesianPoint
	-Designates centroid of the surface.

# Revit gbXML >> Surface >> Opening >> RectangularGeometry >> CartesianPoint
	-Third coordinate >> zero or missing.
	-Distance of the bottom-left corner of the opening to the bottom-left corner of the parent surface.

# Topologic >> FaceUtility >> ProjectToSurface
	-Does not seem to produce accurate results for skylight openings on sloped roofs.
