Bug? Colors of components are not shown correctly with IFC 4.0

[Ricardo]

Within Solibri, Sometimes in IFC models the colors of components are not shown correctly.
The weird thing about this is that there are multiple colors for the same component / material.

I can’t replicate this problem with Dalux, Simplebim or BIMcollab Zoom, which led me to believe it could be a bug in Solibri.
For example in the picture beneath, Dalux is showing the facade correctly, but Solibri is alternating with white… They are the same component with the same material.

This problem looks to be only happening when the IFC model is exported as IFC 4.0, as I have not seen this problem with IFC 2x3 models.
Currently we can’t work with IFC 4x3 since that version is not supported well across the board of modelling software.

This is something that is occurring for probably more then a year now, so not something from the last update.

I hope this issue can be resolved in the near future. I can give additional information or models if necessary.
