3D Interoperability

[sawarsi]

i have a step file in which some of the faces are given colors (i think because when i read into a CAD package they are colored) but when i use:

api_rh_get_entity_rgb

on the face the found flag is false. is it perhaps that the color is being assigned to the solid instead of to the face? if so, should i get the color of the solid and use that color for the face?

[sawarsi]

i looked further into this and even the solid does not have an associated color. any ideas?

Hello Sawarsi,

Do you have the "TranslateAttributes" set to true before the transfer? http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/InterOp:Connect/Attributes_Detailed .
