Wrong colors on step: instance vs product - when to choose which label?

[mmaenz]

Hi,

I already made a forum question on opencascade for whats the reason but as you are also affected by this behaviour I created this issue. The problem is that I simply don't know when to use product (referred) label or the instance itsself.

See here: https://dev.opencascade.org/content/problems-getting-correct-information-step-file What is strange to me is that I use the V3d_View and load my sample which does display correct colors but when using mayo the colors are wrong. Do you do something else with your view? Is there something to configure this behaviour?

CAD Assistant as reference for right implementation:

Here is my sample step for testing: StepWithMultiAssembly.zip

Thank you

Probably I was a bit to fast with questioning. I have found the answer by checking for IsSet(label, ...) and when all colors are wrong asking the referenced Label for its colors. When this is also wrong it defaults to yellow.
