Colours lost upon loading a file.
After loading a file the colors are lost, actually they are rather not displayed.
When I right click on an part and enter the colour setting mode, it is visible that they have non-default colours, but all of they are displayed in gray.
Is there a bug in FreeCad or am I doing something wrong?

Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
You mean that because of the “Ляво скосяване :: no object linked : internal name : Chamfer001” the colours are not displayed upon loading the file?
I have removed the parts with the “!” sign on a copy of the documents, but still the colours are not displayed as they should when loading the documents.

Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
Calling "Set colors" from the context menu doesn't show any color here. So it's time to ask for your FreeCAD infos and to ask for a retry in 0.21.

Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
I could not find where to download v. 21 from, the official release is 0.20.1.
There seems to be something with the Link Groups (Simple).
Parts which are not in Link Groups are shown fine, the ones within groups are not shown as they should.

Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
Opening the file in V0.21 does show the problem. But if I recreate the model in V0.21 the problem does not occur.

Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
I retried in
Absolutely no change in the behaviour.
I have also created a new documents with v0.21, after reopening it the colours are not shown.
But, some addition observations for both versions:
1. When I set a colour (the same colour, which is displayed in the color editing panel) for one of the sides of the uncoloured cube, the colours of the other sides start showing as they should.
2. When I copy and paste a LinkGroup the colours of the parts in it are not displayed, until I set the colour for one of the sides, then all other colours start showing, just like in 1.
Seems like some refresh bug in FreeCAD to me

Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
After retesting I find it depends on how the LinkGroup is created. If you create it as an empty group and then drop the colored object into it the problem does not occur. The problem occurs if you pre-select the colored object and then create the group.
Re: Colours lost upon loading a file.
Indeed, I tried and received your result.
Possibly this is https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/6131.
