Problem with a2+ import.

[fcaduser]

Hello FC people.

If I create an a2+ assembly, then import the joined bearing, the balls vanish. I don't understand why.

In addition, I've already reported this little glitch : the colors are not preserved as in the original part (although "update colors = true".) I really would like the red colored surfaces displayed as such into the assembly. I use cutaway massively because the transparency setting is no more sufficient (my projects have up to 6 levels of assembly nesting.) So some assembly would be undecipherable without this technique.

Any idea ? Thank.

Thanks for the file. I can reproduce the problem and will look how to solve it.

Thank you very much.

The original model can be downloaded here (step ap 214), if needed :

I think i have found the problem. Please checkout A2plus version V0.4.20.
This should fix it.

Hi @kbwbe
I have added a small fix related to my code to import part as solid ...
please have a look at my PR 279

Good point, it works for this bearing.
Generally speaking, are colors of an imported part supposed always updated, too ? (with the right option ticked, of course.)

Yes.
P.S.: From one assembly level to the next higher one.
