File-based central model path

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 21:46:26 GMT

How can I get "file-based" worksharing central model path from a local model? I also read Typepad Post that says Document.GetWorksharingCentralModelPath() is for when using Revit Server (so for my case it just returns a empty string), but couldn't figure out what to do with "file-based" central models.

I work with Inventory mainly and not too good with Revit, but I appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Try using the ModelPathUtils after getting the Worksharing model path. Something like this should work:

        private string GetCentralServerPath(Document doc)
        {
            var modelPath = doc.GetWorksharingCentralModelPath();
            var centralServerPath = ModelPathUtils.ConvertModelPathToUserVisiblePath(modelPath);

            return centralServerPath;
        }
