I am reading STEP assembly using STEPCAFControl_Reader
and putting all the compounds and solids in a tree structure.
My tree node contains a name which I obtained from TDF_Label
, and a shape which is AIS_ConnectedInteractive
.
I display this tree by recursively going thru all the nodes and using m_Context->Display(shape, false)
, where m_Context
is AIS_InteractiveContext
.
Everything works but I cannot change the color of the assembly by using:
colorTool->SetColor(label, color, XCAFDoc_ColorSurf);
The color changes when it gets first loaded, but when I change it later, it stays the same color. I double checked the color by calling:
Quantity_Color col;
colorTool->GetColor(label, XCAFDoc_ColorSurf, col);
The col
variable does update to the new color I just set, but the view somehow didn't update it.
In my render loop, I have the following:
m_Context->Update(shape, false);
m_View->Invalidate();
m_View->Redraw();
m_Context->UpdateCurrentViewer();
If I create a primitive shape such as a BRepPrimAPI_MakeBox
, everything will work, displaying, color changing, etc. Just not assemblies.
So my question, do I need to use TPrsStd_AISViewer
and TPrsStd_AISPresentation
to achieve what I want? Or am I missing something obvious here?

Hello,
AIS_InteractiveContext generated from TopoDS_Shape only once. And attributes re-create only once. After generation of context from XCAF you be able to update attributes only on AIS level. Any updates of already parsed XCAF will not impact on view.
