> ## Viewing Mass Properties

> The Mass Properties tab displays the precise measurements for mass, volume, area, center of gravity, moments of inertia, and inertia tensor for any model or selection.

> 1. Select the part or parts for which you want to calculate the mass properties. To select multiple parts, press the Shift or Control key while selecting.
>    To view the mass properties of the entire 3D model, make sure no parts are selected.

> Note: You can also make your selection after you open the Entity Properties dialog box.

> 2. From the Analysis menu, select Show Entity Properties.

> The Entity Properties dialog box appears.

> Note: You can also right-click in the workspace and select Show Entity Properties, or in the Model Tree, select the model part or parts, then right-click and select Show Entity Properties.

> 3. Click the Mass Properties tab to view the properties of the selected mass.

> Note: When a mass property cannot be calculated, “N/A” displays in red for that property. When this is the case, you can also click Error Report for a list of mass properties that could not be calculated.

> 4. To change the density, change measurement units, or configure computation of inertia tensor, click Options.

> The Options dialog box appears.

> See Configuring Mass Properties

> 5. Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
> 6. Click Close to close the Entity Properties dialog box.
