ReMark Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Try the MASSPROP command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Some extra clarifications: Will need to make sure that the items you were looking to list were solid entities, since this is what said command expects. The mass is always calculated with a density of 1.0; so you will need to multiply the volume with actual material's density. If your jewelry is made by more than one material (i.e. metal + gemstone), then will need to call the command for each item to get its volume and multiply it with appropriate density.

BIGAL Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 You can also retrieve the mass prop info and do stuff with it like above multiply by a weight factor then display answer. Use save to file option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
