Rvt to RFA extractor

OBD / Mstn has an .rfa Importer tool.

It would be good to extend this to provide .rvt and .rte import function.

The rvt connector for itwins is very clumsy and does not extract the component .rfa families. It would great to convert a rvt or rte to a Cell library or tree of subfolders populated withe the extracted .rfas and .cels or dgns.

A lot of manufacturers and portals are bundling .rfas and other families in rvts rtes for ease of use.

Revit components will need pre-processing before they can be used as Cells in a .dgn context. Especially with the currrent incomplete conversion functionality.

Also paves the way for Design Transfer workflows where the incoming rvt content is converted into smart OBD / Mstn components for further work using Bentley products.
