A2plus - parts with Boolean fragments are duplicated

[NewJoker]

Hi,

I've noticed that when I insert a part involving Boolean fragments operation (to split a face) into A2plus, it's displayed as a single part but with visible overlay of geometries:

Then, after exporting to STEP and importing to another software or back to FreeCAD (without STEP compound merge) there are 2 separate parts - one without Boolean fragments applied and one with it (the only one that I need). Can that be considered a bug or is it just a limitation ? Are there any workarounds ? I can delete the redundant part after importing but the assembly consists of several other parts too so it's quite inconvenient.

I attached the files below.

Your file Ring.FCStd contains a Body and a Part (of Partworkbech), both marked as visible. So A2Plus imports both.
Mark the Body-Object as invisible and import again.
For me, this works. The duplicate has gone.

Great, it works now. Thank you very much
