The 3D Properties utility calculates a 3D object’s center of mass, radii of gyration, and mass properties based on density or specific gravity, surface area, and volume. This can be used for 3D objects such as a sweep, extrude, or solid.

To display the 3D properties of an applicable object:

Selecteer het 3D-object.

Select the command.

The 3D Properties dialog box displays the object surface area, volume, radii of gyration, and center of mass.

Units

Select the unit for displaying values

Places locus at center of mass

Places a locus point at the 3D center of mass of the object

Place properties on drawing

Places a grouped text block containing the 3D property values on the drawing at the next mouse click

Write properties to a file

Creates a text file containing the 3D property values

Click Calculate Mass Properties.

The Mass Properties dialog box displays the weight, mass, and mass moments of inertia of the object.

Specify the system of units to use when calculating the mass properties.
