HC45398: WHEN OPENING A V5 CATPART WITH MORE THAN ONE PARTBODY IN A V4 SESSION, ONLY ONE BODY IS VISUALIZED AS A SOLID

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible.

Error description

• When V4 CATIA read V5 model including 3 bodies, 2 bodies are
  displayed as profile instead of solid.
  
  Customer's scenario:
   1. Start CATIA V5
   2. Open new CATPart window
   3. Create first body which is cube solid by pad and sketcher
   4. Create second body which is sphere solid by shaft and
      sketcher
   5. Create third body which is cone solid by shaft and sketcher
   6. FILE - SAVE  " V5model "
  
   7. Start CATIA V4
   8. FK FILE / READ /   " V5model "
    > Cube and sphere are displayed as profile instead of solid.
    > Cone is correctly displayed as solid.
  
  It seems that only the last body created is visualized as solid.
  The other ones are visualized by their basic geometric elements.
