Update model not updating component colors

[JeroenKoomen]

Removing the IFC model and adding again worked for me. However that’s not really the right solution…

Yes that is not what you want because then you will loose all history of the elements in the old model in rulesets / presentations etc.

@jeroenkoomen

could we have these small colorful IFCs for testing?

I am sending you IFC / SMC over the mail.

Is there already a solution for this problem?

we have the same problems with visability of the elements they were projected as transperecy but we want to see them as the normal colors.

Is there anyone who can help me with this issue.

Hi @kevindentoom

Do you have an issue similar to this one?

I have the same issue.
Using “Remove Paint from Visible Objects” fixes the issue, even though I haven’t manually added the wrong colors to the .IFC:

Hi everyone,

This issue has been around for more than five years. Has there been any progress on it?

The steps to reproduce it are below. You can download the test files here Modellaktualisierung.zip .

1. Initial setup (Screenshot 1). The Solibri model contains four IFC models from folder 01 (architecture, openings, structural engineering and ventilation). All four are displayed in blue and have the suffix -1 in the 3D view.
   

2. Replace the IFC files (Screenshot 2). Replace the four files in folder 01 with the newer files of the same name from folder 02.
   

3. Update the models (Screenshot 3). Select all four models in the Model Tree and choose Update Models from the context menu. Solibri detects the newer modification date for all four files.
   

4. Actual result (Screenshot 4). The suffix changes to -2 in the 3D view, confirming that all four models have been updated. The geometry is still displayed in blue.
   

5. Expected result (Screenshot 5). All four models should appear red in the 3D view after the update, as shown in Screenshot 5.
   

Could you let me know when a fix is expected?

Hello!

This has been on the list for too long. We’ll have this resolved before the end of the year. Perhaps even in the next maintenance release 26.9.1.

Kind regards,
Toni
