Hello, My app allows to manage opening Revit Links Worksets, but it works only with links from local path or server, so I would like to use this app for Links from BIM360, anyway I can`t use RevitLinkType.LoadFrom method, Is there anybody solve this problem?

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:

 

https://forge.autodesk.com/developer/documentation

 

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

 

https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/documen-management/download-document

 

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:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/browsing-model-files-in-the-cloud-a360-c4r/m-p/843279...

 

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
