By ”settings” I mean eg. Display settings, like below:
Personalised settings are not saved to .struxml and thus reset during serialisation/deserialistion. This is a major issue for users working with modifying existing models using C# or Grasshopper.

Eg Load display
Object settings (in quick tools)

Or the color schema:

Also the calculation settings under Analysis>Calculations>Calculation options are reset, which potentially can cause errors in the model:

Also color graduation on eg surface color palate, are changed back to default:

It seems to me that none of the user defined settings live through the API, I don’t even think the settings are saved to the .struxml – as they are reset when we open a newly generated .struxml in FEM-design.
