Modify custom 3D object

[ FlexSim 21.0.2 ]

Hello,

I have a problem trying to import custom 3d objects.
If a make some changes to an object that I've previously imported into FlexSim and try to reopen it, FlexSim keeps showing the old version of the model.

I will show and example of this:

1) Create an object in a 3d software, for example a blue cube with the name "object" and export as obj.

2) Open FlexSim, add BasicFR and change it's shape to show the 3d model. The model is displayed correctly.

3) For some reason you realize that the model need some modification so you make them in the 3d software and overwrite the old file (saving at same path with the same name). I have created a green cylinder to simulate those changes.

4) Trying to open the model in FlexSim keeps showing the blue cube instead of the green cylinder.

If I open a new instance of FlexSim it works nice:

It seems like flexsim is saving the 3d shape internally so it can't "see" new modifications on objects that were previously open, is there any way to remove this information to avoid this behavior ?

I'll add a folder with the models that I used for the test.
flexsimImportTest.rar

Thank you in advance.
