Parametric Frame/Cell Builder

There is currently no effective means to generate and update Parametric / Compound Cells.

Including the proxy view dependent geometry is key to reducing BV,DV generation times. Also needed to automate and coordinate detail drawing production.

The old PFB tool automates some of the tasks but is missing several functions. Eg handles top and front view assignment only.

It would be good to provide an updated version of PFB that is fully scriptable and compatible with the new parametric tools. The new MS Python looks quite promising. Part of a Jupyter Notebook set up?
