I know where the Mass Properties function is and in Measure Volume you can tick a box. OK...
My question is, If Microstation can't apply a material index like Autocad can, how can Microstation possibly know what the weight of the item is?
Furthermore, If I check Mass Properties and COG and select an item it says it is only 4.4 kg???? What!! I know it is in the region of 200+ kg!! What gives??
I never require volume, but weight I require daily. So out of Microstation goes the 3D Model and into Solidworks or Autocad to get the Mass Weight of things.
This is annoying and time consuming. Anyone know how to solve this???
What version (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation are you using?

You've posted to the MicroStation Programming Forum, but your question seems to be about MicroStation usage rather than programming.
If your question is about programming, then tell us more about your set-up: programming language, use of element attributes, tags or Item Types. If your question isn't about programming, then you'll get a better response by moving this thread to the MicroStation Forum. Hint: use the More button below your post and select the Move option.
