Original Color Of The Imported 3d Shape Not Retained On a MassFlowUnit

Hi,

When we use an imported 3d shape as the mass flow unit the color of the 3d shape becomes black and white. How can I retain the colors of the mass flow units? But the colors remain when I use a basic flow item as a mass flow unit.

This is a bug. Thanks. The instanced draw code is incorrectly using the blue color component for both the green and blue colors. I've fixed it for the next bugfix releases.

any workaround possible?

You can workaround the bug in the meantime by exploiting a different bug in the same draw code.

If you use the Customize Meshes button to toggle the mesh to draw the Object's Color, then the mesh itself is currently incorrectly being drawn its original color instead of overriding the setting of the color to the object's color:

samplemodel_workaround.fsm

If you use this bug as a workaround, you should be aware that it may break in a future update if this bug gets fixed.
