Hi,

Using this code to generate a FemMesh object with two triangle elements. Then changed the color of one element. But after saving and reopen, the color is lost.

Regards,

John

Code: Select all

import Fem

a = Fem.FemMesh()

a.addNode(0,    0,    0,    1)
a.addNode(10,    0,    0,    2)
a.addNode(5,    10,    0,    3)
a.addNode(15,    15,    0,    4)

a.addFace([1,2,3], 1)
a.addFace([2,4,3], 2)
obj = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Fem::FemMeshObject")
#obj.Placement.Base = FreeCAD.Vector(2, 0, 0)
obj.FemMesh = a

obj.ViewObject.ElementColor = {1:(1,0,0)}

Please retry with latest build. There are some 2200 commits since your version. Might be fixed already...

ahh I missed this. BTW if you add a new line at the end of code blocks the last line is executed without pressing another time enter after copy past.

AFAIK this method is used to set the colors:

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... h.cpp#L651

this only sets the scene graph, but the colors are not saved anywhere AFAIKT
