Colours are (usually) a ViewProvider Property and ViewProviders don't know anything about Shapes. And Shapes are a thin layer over OCC TopoDS_Shapes which don't know anything about colour.manuelkrause wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 10:27 am @wandererfan:
I'm not used to compound shapes. Would it be able to keep per face color & transparency info for the single faces - in combination with the proper toponaming relative info?
So, if you're willing to save the ViewProviders for all the components of the Compound, you can keep all your Appearance settings.
But! We don't use the original VPs. We just keep the Shape. So you'll have to save your color info outside of the DocumentObject/ViewProvider framework.
