RFA files are so called family files from Autodesk Revit Architecture and contain 3D design data for various building components or elements in architecture, engineering, and construction projects. As such these are not mere 3D models, but a packages with 3d data, parametric information, material properties, metadata, behavioral data as well as various settings.
This means that exporting these files to other 3D formats may not be that simple and also that not everything can be translated accordingly.
In case of rfa to obj conversion, this covers only export of 3D model or geometry.
How to export the 3D model from Revit RFA file to OBJ format
The default option how to convert rfa to obj is to use Revit Architecture and with the help of the special OBJ Exporter plugin simply export the models from .rfa files.
Another option, which seems to be preferred for exchange purposes is to export the RFA first to either FBX or IFC format, which you can then use in numerous other 3D modeling tools. Of course this will require that you have access to Revit for such export.
Exporting RFA files without Revit?
It will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible to export RFA files without access to Revit itself due to the proprietary nature of the file format.
