RVT import ArchiCAD Solo

Is there any way to get Revit RVT files into ArchiCAD 27 Solo without external translation?

I am aware that I could:
Get the creator of the files (or anyone with Revit) to export as IFC
Use an online file converter (think they're all paid)
Get a full ArchiCAD licence and place as hotlink

 

But first, I thought I would confirm that it isn't possible natively in AC27 Solo or that there aren't any other easy routes. The information isn't that clear online - I have seen that the RFA / RVT geometry exchange is now integrated into AC since 25, but it doesn't specify that this doesn't work in Solo. Trying to use it however, it looks like this is only available via the insert hotlink option which is disabled in Solo. Is this the only way the geometry exchange works?

 

Then I wondered if it might work differently in earlier versions and maybe I could import via the geometry exchange add-on in an earlier version and then open in 27? Doubtful, but possible! Or any other good routes to get into these RVTs.

 

Cheers.
