Assembly of meshes - visualization error in Autodesk Viewer

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi, my workflow uses Autodesk Fusion 360 + Viewer in order to share projects that are essentially assemblies of STLs files. Up to two months ago all worked fine. I open a new document in Fusion 360, import various STL files (mesh objects). I need to set up different appearances for all the objects; after that, I save the project. I export the file as a .f3d file and I import the file in Autodesk Viewer. When I open the project in Autodesk Viewer, all my appereances are lost, all the objects have no custom appereances and are brought back to the "Steel" look. Three months ago I was able to see all the correct materials. 

 

Moreover, even the names of the objects that I set up in Autodesk Fusion are lost in Viewer (the model browser reports only "mesh_name_undefined" for all the objects. 

 

Maybe some update has broken something? Am I doing something wrong? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Update: I understood what's causing one of the issues. Viewer is taking into consideration only physical materials of the objects and not the appereances set using the "appereances" tool. If I edit the visualization properties of the physical material the changes are visible in Viewer. However, this does not solve the problem with the names of the objects in the model. 

 

My idea is that some update of Viewer or Fusion has damaged the interpretation of the fusion files in viewer.

Update: i tried to upload an old project that worked fine 6 months ago. It does not work anymore, i see all objects as "metallic", although correct materials and appereances properties were set inside fusion. 

 

Any answer from the developers?
