Derived part not updating appearance/"Use color override from source component"

I have several derived parts that came from the same multi-body part. Each of the derives has "Use color override from source component" checked. I have not applied any appearance overrides to the derived geometry. I changed the appearance of several of the bodies in the source multi-body part, but the recipient derived parts are not updating with this change, even though "use override from source" is checked. If I edit the derive and then say "OK" without changing anything, the appearance then updates correctly. But I don't want to have to do this for every part.

 

Is there a way I can force an "appearance refresh" so I don't have to do this for every part one by one?

 

I already tried a Rebuild All and that had no effect.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Folks,

 

Please share an example that exhibits the behavior. It is either a bug or a limitation. I would like to understand the Derive coloring behavior better.

Many thanks!
