    for what it's worth, they can also be opened in notepad, in case you ever need to check what version of Revit the file is in

        Actually an rvt file is a "MS OLE Structured Storage based file". It seems 7zip can read some parts of it.

        You can read more about this on these links:

        One of the valuable spoils of the AEC DevCamp last week in Waltham is the following stand-alone utility created by David S. Echols of H&A Architects & Engineers for opening and analysing the contents of the Revit structured OLE storage file streams. We initially discussed this internal RVT and RFA file structure when presenting the Python utility to read the RVT or RFA file version without starting up and loading the file into Revit. It is also of interest to...


        Basic File Info and RVT File Version
        https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2013/01/basic-file-info-and-rvt-file-version.html
        I presented an initial solution in Python for determining the version of an RVT file on disk from outside Revit making use of its OLE document Structured Storage format back in 2008. David Echols later shared a more full-fledged C# Revit OLE Storage viewer listing more information and displaying the preview image. Since then, the Revit API added support for reading basic RVT file info through the BasicFileInfo class. Victor Chekalin now presents another C# console application showing how some...
