How to load link from BIM360
Dear Ilia,
Thank you for your query and for raising it here in the public discussion forum.
I think you should be using the Forge BIM360 REST API to access models on BIM360:

Here is a tutorial showing how to download files from BIM 360 document management:

This question and similar related issues have been discussed previously here in the forum.
One of the more extensive threads presents a couple of suggestions:
In it, Ali Talebi says:
This can be used to open C4R models directly via the Revit API where it was not possible via Forge. I think the Forge API can already help with the BIM360 part.
I hope this helps.
Meanwhile I have asked the development team whether they have any more up-to-date suggestions for you.
Best regards,
Jeremy
Dear Ilia,
I heard back from the development team, who say:
If it's a Desktop Connector link, then they should be able to use LoadFrom or Create with the local-path-on-disk that the link downloads to, and Revit will interpret it as a BIM360 link.
For a Revit Cloud Worksharing link: right now there is no API to link cloud model or workshared cloud model. We have a user story about this in our backlog.
Cheers,
Jeremy
