Question: Receiving a model Asynchronously at runtime in Unity

I’ve been working on a Unity Project to automatically detect a new version uploaded to a speckle account, and have it automatically receive the model in the unity gamescene.

The listeners work; when a model is uploaded automatically from Revit, it detects it. However, when it tries to trigger the speckleReceiver.ReceiveAndConvert_Async();, the model does not show up in the gamescene. Below is the code.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using Speckle.ConnectorUnity.Components;
using Speckle.Core.Api;
using Speckle.Core.Models;
using Speckle.Core.Transports;
using Speckle.Core.Credentials;
using UnityEngine;
using Speckle.Core.Kits;
using Speckle.Core.Logging;
using Speckle.Core.Models.GraphTraversal;


//edit below this 


public class SpeckleSyncHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SpeckleReceiver speckleReceiver;
    private Client speckleClient;
    
    private IDisposable subscription;

    private void Start()
    {
        
        var account = AccountManager.GetDefaultAccount();
        if (account == null)
        {
            Debug.LogError("No Speckle account found!");
            return;
        }

        speckleClient = new Client(account);

        // Listen to Project
        var streamId = speckleReceiver.Stream.Selected.id;
        var subscription = speckleClient.Subscription.CreateProjectVersionsUpdatedSubscription(streamId);

        // Attach event handler to react to new versions
        subscription.Listeners += OnNewVersionReceived;

        Debug.Log("Listening for new versions...");
    }

    private void OnNewVersionReceived(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.Log("New version detected.");
        if (speckleReceiver != null)
        {
            speckleReceiver.ReceiveAndConvert_Async();
            Debug.Log("Data receive and conversion triggered.");
        }
    }


    private void OnDestroy()
    {
       
        subscription?.Dispose();
        speckleClient?.Dispose();
    }
}

In the console," Listening for new versions…" , “New version detected.”, “Data receive and conversion triggered.” all appear, but the model does not.

I also tested the code below to see whether Speckle Receiver can function during runtime. After pressing the space button and waiting for 1-2 seconds, the model appeared in the gamescene

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Speckle.ConnectorUnity.Components;

public class TestReceive : MonoBehaviour
{
    private SpeckleReceiver speckleReceiver;

    void Start()
    {
        speckleReceiver = GetComponent<SpeckleReceiver>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            if (speckleReceiver != null)
            {
                speckleReceiver.ReceiveAndConvert_Async();
            }
        }
    }
}
