In ViaCAD the object is totally red, but when I import the stp file into SW it comes out as white and red. ???

If I export an igs file that file comes into SW completely red.

This is happening with a number of stp files. It seems that objects that I make in ViaCAD export out as the correct color. However objects that are imported with an existing color seem to be the issue. These imported objects seem to retain all of or most of their colors even if I change them with the pen tool in ViaCAD. ???

I've imported into SW, ZW3D, Rhino and FreeCad and I am either getting parts that have some of the faces the color they show in viacad and the rest of the faces are the original parts color or getting all one color that is not the one shown in viacad. Not all systems are compatible with face colors I'm assuming.

With Igs files I am getting different results. It seems to keep the colors better but there are still faces that are not the correct color.
