Summary


Details

After a roundtrip through Parasolid and back to Solid Edge the part color looks different from the original part color.  The applied material has changed and no face style is applied although a face style is listed with the option 'Styles in use' in the Styles menu.

Solution

 
Parasolid (x_t file format) does not support any styles and material information.  When we import any x_t files, we maintain RGB values.  Hence the translated part does not have an applied material or an applied face style.
 
The material we ultimately see in the PathFinder in the imported file is the material that has been applied in the default template.  Also the face styles in use on the Styles menu do not show an applied face style to the imported part but the active face style in the used template.
