rvt 0.3.0

Apache-2.0 clean-room reader for Autodesk Revit files (.rvt, .rfa, .rte, .rft) without Revit: metadata, previews and the embedded schema of 2016-2026 files, and typed elements with measured geometry from Revit 2024 and 2025 projects, exported as IFC4, glTF and plan SVG.

//! Q6.5 candidate: dump the first 256 bytes of the post-Table-B
//! region and annotate any u16 values that resolve to schema class
//! tags. If ADocument's instance data starts right after Table B,
//! we expect to see a recognisable class-tag pattern in the first
//! handful of bytes — most likely a "parent document" class like
//! ADocument (though ADocument itself has `tag: null`, so we'll be
//! looking for structural markers that open the root record).
