Colored step files appear Black in Altium Multi-Board

Post by alexpro »

I'm having a strange problem which seems to be with the version .20 step files. When I have a model in Altium the colors are exactly as I would expect. But when I view the 3D image in Altium's Multi-Board, all of the parts I colorized in version .20 are now black.

I opened a step file in version .17 and simply exported it. Didn't do anything else. Replaced the part in Altium and now the colors are as expected in Multi-Board. I would have thought it's something in Multi-Board but since just exporting a file in the older .17 version fixes the problem there must be something different in version .20. I'm using the 26155 version

The exact Altium versions might be useful too.
