@Mserago thanks, that is what Multicolor is for. Group the tag and the QR code (Ctrl+G), then switch on Multicolor in the group's settings (or press Shift+M). The group stays one body, every part shows in its own colour again, and the 3MF export keeps the colours. A group of solids starts with Multicolor off, which is why the colours went away. OrcaSlicer and the slicers built on it show the colours of such a body since layerling 1.146.1, so update first if you are on an older version. More about it here: https://layerling.com/guide/shapes.html#the-shape-s-settings If you would rather keep the parts as separate bodies that only move together, use Bundle (Ctrl+B) instead of Group. |

Turning on Multicolor keeps the colors when grouped; however when I export it as .obj it only show in my Bambu slicer that it only has two colors. I tried exporting as a .3mf and it showed only one color. See photos below.

@Mserago thanks, your photos didn't come through (replies by email lose them), but I could reproduce it. The Icon tag is a bundle of its layers, and inside a Multicolor group the export gave the whole tag one colour, so only the QR code kept its own. That was a bug. I fixed it: the export now keeps the colour of every layer inside the tag. It comes with the next update. Until then there is a way around it: select the tag and ungroup it first (Ctrl+Shift+G), so its layers are separate parts. Then group the layers and the QR code (Ctrl+G) and switch on Multicolor. I exported that as 3MF and OBJ, and all colours came through. |

@Mserago the fix is out in layerling 1.148.0: an Icon tag in a Multicolor group now keeps the colour of every layer in 3MF and OBJ. |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
When using the SVG tag shape and try to put an QR code (as an example) to the bottom side, its works but exports as two objects. If I group everything I then lose the layer colors.
