Arch Building Part still touched after recompute

[realthunder]

any news here. This is still not solved.

'Not solved' as in the Building Part is still touched after recompute? I thought that is already fixed. If you mean the group touched after member modification problem, you can try my branch here. This feature branch starts out as for changing the group and geo group behavior in general. But it has since evolved into a quite significant enhancement in 3D visual and selection. I am about to release it, but still testing right now, and keep having annoying little problems here and there.

The related group behavior change is that only App::DocumentObjectGroup and App::Part will auto touch itself when their children are changed. The reason is that these two types of group will export a compound shape of their visible children. It also affects how these objects behavior when doing STEP export. So touching keeps the exporting shape in sync with the current children.

This behavior is controllable through a new property 'ExportMode' in the group object. The options are 'Disabled' means no touching on child change, 'By Visibility' (default) export only visible children. 'By Query' will inject a property 'Group_Export' into each children object, and export only children with this property set to true. And finally 'Both', means export 'By Query' and 'Visibility'.

Other objects containing GroupExtension (e.g. Building Part, I guess), or GeoFeatureGroupExtension, will by default hide the 'ExportMode' property, and set to 'Disabled' by default. Python code can unhide it and change the default value if desired. End-user can reveal the property and change it, too, by right clicking the property view and choose 'Show all' menu action.

This one is fixed, but there is anther one you promised to have a fix but it will take a while to get into master. This was around 4 weeks ago.

It is about the problems described in this post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 20#p340174

Sorry for the delay. The problem should be fixed. I'll submit the PR soon. Still doing some test.

great!
If you would give me some github link to a commit or branch in you repo I would give it a try too.

The branch is at https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/tree/GroupMod

rebases on master and compiles without any problems on Debian Buster

The Arch Project and Arch Site seams to works well with this branch but the Arch Layer and Arch Materials still have some strange behaviour. I have not yet foud what exactly goes wrong. I try to make a simple example like with the columns.

Yes please. I don't really understand the things you and yorik mentioned in the other thread. An example will surely help.

layer example ...

- load the file
- no object is shown
- activate myLayer1 --> objs of myLayer1.Group are shown --> but in grey color, not in real colors
- activate myLayer2 --> objs of myLayer1.Group are shown --> but in grey color, not in real colors

- no mater what I do objts are grey, even if layers are deactivated at all

What are the colors you expect in your example file? I couldn't find where are the colors set.
