Hi All,
We are trying to get the path information for linked CAD files. We can get path information except when it is a file linked through the desktop connector to BIM 360. Would you please have a look at the code snippet and help us out?
code snippet:
...
var element = document.GetElement(c.GetTypeId());
try {
if (element.IsExternalFileReference()) {
// OK: we have access to the path...
var externalFileReference = element.GetExternalFileReference();
path = ModelPathUtils.ConvertModelPathToUserVisiblePath(externalFileReference.GetAbsolutePath());
} else {
// Not an external file reference: how to get access to the (server)path?
var bar = element.GetExternalResourceReferences().First();
var externalResourceReference = element.GetExternalResourceReference(bar.Key);
// This does not work, because element.UniqueId is not an GUID (has extra characters at the end).
// If I remove these extra characters, I get a GUID, but then I get an exception saying "You are unauthorized to access this resource."
var cloudPath = ModelPathUtils.ConvertCloudGUIDsToCloudPath(externalResourceReference.ServerId, Guid.Parse(element.UniqueId));
path = cloudPath.CentralServerPath;
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
path = "N/A";
}
...
