STEP import missing colors (has the .STEP file import process been changed?)

The same .STEP files that imported correctly with their proper colors back in January 2024 now import without colors (with default OnShape color palette) as of April 2024 using the exact same import settings. Is anyone else also having this issue? Has something been changed in the program since January that affects this process? Other programs such as Freecad display the correct colors of the same .STEP files without issue.

    I've been having the same problem. Does anyone know a workaround?

    I have this problem too.

    I've just tried this as a workaround with some success:

    1. Importing STEP into FreeCAD v1.0.0 RC2
    2. Exporting them back out as .STEP (see screenshot)
    3. Import to onshape:

    Example of "fixed" project:

    freecad2-Sapphire v2.step

    Example of Broken import:

    Sapphire.step
