  • 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.
