If we can get an A2 fork managed by FC folks, we could easy gather some user aimed to do the fix...
And then focus the efforts on A3

I know there is demand as threads like this emerge:
This is extracted from your model. How did you manage to get the draft in the first place?GlouGlou wrote: ping

I was searching for some obscure abbreviation found in OCCT data exchange code, and this document perfectly explained what is missing in OCCT documentation.
Specifically, what I found interesting is this,

Right now, NAUO (Next Assembly Usage Occurrence) can be directly translated to Link. But SHUO (Specific Higher Usage Occurrence) is missing, which is used to override visibility and color of an instance under a specific context. In the above picture, it means change the color of the third instance of Nut-Bot-Assembly in the second instance of L-Bracket-Assembly in the top assembly, AS1.
I think I can extend my Coin3D trick on context-aware selection, and applied it to color and visibility to achieve this.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Can you please elaborate your problem? Can you select a face when create, say a Cube, using Part, PartDesign? Does the problem happen only when the object is in the assembly? If you can show show screencast, that will be better.
