Appearance shows default instead of part specific

Using Creo 7.0.5.0

I have an assembly that mostly consists of steel parts. However, as seen below there are two bronze bushings that I have given the bronze_ptc appearance. Despite that, the cut surfaces show as the "default" appearance when doing a section view (just a straight offset section from the Right plane).

I expect something like this (mockup):

I even changed the part material to BRONZE_CAST, but still the same result.

Neither Regenerate or Repaint makes any difference.

Any solution to this or is it a Creo limitation?

No, I hadn't tried that. That did sort of work, but only on the instance that was selected, and I would have to edit every single instance of this bushing in the assembly (there are quite a few).

You did give me a clue to the proper solution though:

In the part, use Selection -> Body and then set the appearance. Now the solid got the same material all the way through.

Did you use the selection drop-down in the lower right and set it to Part when selecting the bushings to change the color?
