Re: Assigning weight values

As far as I know, there is no way to just tell it the weight. Also, I am just curious as to the use of this. I would hollow out a portion of it to lighten it, or stick a piece of denser metal inside it to weighten it. Also, there is the guess and check method. Just go and change the material properties until it weighs about right. Also, wouldn't this mess up the center of mass? I just see a lot of problems without a whole lot of purpose. Whatever the reason, I hope my suggestions helped.
