How to use API to open Revit Server file and reload working set button available？

[464905795]

As the title says，I open Revit Server File by api,however the reload workset button isn't available.

 private void OpenDetached(UIApplication app, ModelPath modelPath)
        {
            OpenOptions opt = new OpenOptions();
            opt.DetachFromCentralOption = DetachFromCentralOption.DoNotDetach;
            app.OpenAndActivateDocument(modelPath, opt, false);
        }

Has the problem been solved? I also want to know the answer, hope help, thank you！

Yes, sorry, no reply received yet. I re-prompted the development team for advice.

The development team suggest:

Something to test:

  
1) Open it
2) Get the local and central path
  
Assuming the central still points at the server and not another location, proceed to 3 and 4:

3) Close it
4) Open the local path

 
That may push things in the right direction, though the added time isn’t ideal. If it doesn’t point at the server, they may need to make another call to open the document.
 

I hope this helps.

Glads to hear that. Thank you for your appreciation.

Reference code：
ModelPath toOpenPath = ModelPathUtils.ConvertUserVisiblePathToModelPath(localPath);
WorksharingUtils.CreateNewLocal(modelPath, toOpenPath );
app.OpenAndActivateDocument(toOpenPath , opt, false);

The development team explain: This is by design. The central model was opened directly when using the  OpenDetached() method because it uses the  central model's ModelPath. So, ReloadLatest cannot be used in this case; there is no related stuff to reload, because central is always latest when you're on it, and all other clients cannot work with central when the central is opened directly. This is not a recommended way to use the worksharing feature. The correct way would be to create a new local file based on central. Then, it should work correctly. File-based worksharing should have the same behaviour.
