Document.SaveAsCloudModel

Method

Description:
Saves current non-workshared or workshared model as a cloud model or workshared cloud model in BIM 360 Docs or Autodesk Docs.

Remarks:

Assumes that user is currently signed in BIM 360 Docs or Autodesk Docs and has access to Autodesk cloud services. This operation will create a model on cloud and then create a local cache of the cloud model. This method cannot be used when current document is already in cloud.

You can use one of the following methods to save a local model as a workshared cloud model in BIM 360 Docs or Autodesk Docs.

If the local model is a workshared model, then it will be a workshared cloud model after you use this method successfully.
If the local model is a non-workshared model, you can enable the workset with EnableWorksharing(String, String) and then save as a workshared cloud model.
If the local model is a non-workshared model, and you have already saved it as a non-workshared cloud model in BIM 360 Docs or Autodesk Docs, you can still enable the workset with EnableCloudWorksharing() to convert it to a workshared cloud model.

You cannot save a local workshared model as a non-workshared cloud model in BIM 360 Docs or Autodesk Docs.
