Document.SaveAsCloudModel Method cannot be used when current document is already in cloud

[ptranU2KHX]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the SaveAsCloudModel method to upload my project to the ACC platform. However, the problem is that this method does not work if the project is already in the cloud. I do not want to delete the project manually before uploading it by API because I doubt that this action could break some workflow related to the cloud or workshare. Therefore, I wonder if there are any solutions to overwrite the project in the ACC platform. 

Thank you.

Im sure there are ways to detect whether the model is already a cloud model or not, so you could simply apply those and decide appropriately before calling SaveAsCloudModel.

The fact that it does not work on a model that is already in the cloud is intentional and clearly documented:

@jeremy_tammik thanks for your response.

I totally understand and if you noticed, the title of this post is exposed from the Revit SDK document.

I'd like to ask for a solution that helps overwrite the existing document in the ACC platform.

@jeremy_tammik it seems the API does not support my intent currently. Thank you.
