I have a part with a fillet. When I linear pattern it and it's fillet and apply an appearance to the pattern it takes about 30 mins just to remove the appearance. I can see solidworks highlighting every face and edge.

When I tell the pattern to propagate visual appearances it does not do it for the fillet which is why I have to apply the appearance to the pattern.

Is there any way to solve this issue and is there any way to change the "root" appearance from the flat white to something else(just for a single part doc and not globally)?
