Declare AP214 for the existing colour/transparency output and use compatible product context entities. Supply empty name and description strings on solid and wireframe representation relationships.

Translate native material-on-right UV loops to STEP by reversing the face-bound sense for both outer and inner bounds. Keep the spline geometry and representation structure unchanged.

Discovered while working on STEP linking/import using STEPcode with a strict parser that does not accept deviations from the spec. Exported STEP files still open correctly with Open Cascade OCCT based software as well as Kisters 3DViewStation (the only ones I currently have available) - but they opened the old ones as well - presumably they are more tolerant to invalid STEP files.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

The changes look simple enough, and you tried it with existing software. Looks good to me.
