3D Extruded Shape Not Updating from Library

The Problem:


Below is an example of a component which does not match the part in the Library and Altium does NOT detect the difference.

Here's the part on the PCB.























Here is the part in the Library
















As shown I have added a polarity mark in the 3D body using a small white triangle.

Also the part appears in the Libraries Panel with the polarity mark shown.























However selecting the Component and updating from Libraries finds NO differences.














No Differences Found




















Apparently finding differences does not include extruded shapes in a 3D Body.


The Workaround:


Open the footprint *.PCBLIB file then using the PCB Library Panel Update the PCB with the footprint.






















Problem Solved:




















That's it
