SpeckleRevitConverter

This projects needs some love.

hey @fraguada I'm getting up to speed on speckle and we're sitting on a mountain of code for Revit translators. I might be able to help here.

@archinate that is awesome! I don't want to trivialize the work, but here is how the SpeckleRhinoConverter source looks like (should consider making that a partial class @didimitrie and splitting into multiple files).
Maybe smart thing to do at this point might be to see what can be abstracted into an interface that can be shared across Converters?

Hah, you edited quicker than i typed up the new issue @fraguada , gotta love semi-realtime Github issues.

[didimitrie]

@archinate + @fraguada + @Myself + @whoeverwants should organise a call. up to you guys, i'm at your disposal!

Converter infrastructure should be simple to explain, and we'll need to decide what to support and not, etc.

Initially we could even go for Revit to Revit comms without hurting too much through the SpeckleAbstract (see https://speckle.works/blog/schemasandstandards/) if revit objects can be handled nicely through that approach

There are a lot more possible plugins to be done in the future... maybe someone should write some in-detail "guidelines" on what to do when starting a new plugin? How to organise the code, what to implement how, etc.? So everyone does it the same.
