Hi everyone,
this is my first post, I hope to do it correctly.
Problem: I have a model with some colored elements. When I export the model as a STEP file, the color disappears and the entire model is default gray.
I have already read the related posts:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=44126
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=50131
and I have set the STEP settings as suggested but the problem stays.
FreeCAD version:
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.24267 +99 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: Branch_0.19.3
Python version: 3.8.6+
Qt version: 5.15.2
Coin version: 4.0.1
OCC version: 7.5.3
Locale: Italian/Italy (it_IT)
I attach here my project and step files.
Thank you very much in advance.

As requested, tried on:
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.27422 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: d938733eaf2c2ce7cb18d1cbb56147185c473530
Python version: 3.8.6+
Qt version: 5.15.2
Coin version: 4.0.1
OCC version: 7.5.3
Locale: Italian/Italy (it_IT)
Unfortunately, the problem stays anyway.
Re: Exporting STEP loses color (2)
The problem seems related to the use of a PartDesign Body. If you replace it with a Part SimpleCopy the applied face colors are exported to the STEP file.
