Reading this below post. Is it still advised “DO NOT attempt to open a cloud workshared project via desktop connector” ? The below post with opening ACC in the background is what I’m trying to achieve.

See the relevant [ModelPathUtils](https://www.revitapidocs.com/2019/cc284f13-a7a9-d37e-e46d-4769bf039a96.htm) and [ModelPath](https://www.revitapidocs.com/2019/cc284f13-a7a9-d37e-e46d-4769bf039a96.htm) classes. I don’t currently have access to Revit so I can’t test anything myself and can’t give specific guidance (such as how to actually determine the project and model Guids) but this should at least provide a starting point.

It errored due to not giving it data from Data Shapes UI. I was in a hurry to respond.
