3D visualization support for parameters in a disv grid in MF6  #666

I have been searching for an export option so that I can visualize hydrogeologic properties such as K in 3D. I was thinking there would be a vtk option, but I can't seem to find it for MF6. Looking at the code for the Vtk class appears to only support a structured grid and applies to the .dis package only. Am I missing something in this class? I have my unstructured grid loaded in Paraview using the .vtu file provided by the Gridgen module. It appears that flopy.export.utils.package_export() only supports shapefile files and netcdf. Is this correct? I tried
npf = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwfnpf(mdl, save_specific_discharge=True, icelltype=[1, 1, 1], k=hk_qt, k33=vk_qt)
npf.export('_netcdf/npf.nc')
and
flopy.export.utils.package_export('_netcdf/npf.nc', npf)
In both cases I received the same error: Exception: Grid type vertex not supported. So it appears the netcdf export option does not support unstructured grids.

Are there any 3D export options to visualize hydrogeologic parameters?
