Fail to export. Transparency: Other options?
Illustrator fails to export artwork correctly when "Other Options" showing under Opacity in Appearance palette. This artwork was created via legacy 3d extrude. It was also 'pathfindered' and 'eyedroppered,' the latter with Appearance checked.
Attaching screenshots showing state of palettes and result in legacy Save for Web dialog. Same result in Export for Screens. Also attaching source file.

Yep, thank you for sharing it, definitely worth letting the team know.

Yes, it was a mess. One that I untangled in order to fix the issue. My posting the file and detailing the issue is mainly to make the devs aware of the presence (possibility) of these things.

Wow, what a knot, a mess! It’s a double-wrapped compound path, where each group has its own custom opacity.
Thank for the file, but you definitely should just have to untangle this knot to work with this, because I hardly believe this is something you really intended to create!
Start with ungrouping this, twice, and disabling Knockout Group option (again, you’ have to click the option twice as well, because it got inherited from its child paths). Ooph!I have no idea about your intentions (like do you want it darkened violet, just violet, or maybe even just gray), your final goal, the level of your expertise with knockouts and isolated blending, so it’s hard to give a definite explanation, sorry,
What I can say is that using the Eyedropper with both Appearance marks checked can really make some unexpected results... If you are not into it — better disable these both Appearance options, or at least try to avoid picking from expanded legacy 3D: it does some very specific things to produce shading, and you hardly should use it for anything else.Generally, GPU tends to calculate these wrong, and Safe for Web usually is doing them right...
It is a known (sadly) limitation, that GPU preview can’t handle thinks like overprints, knockouts, and isolated blending. -
