[Plugin] FredoTools::SolidVolume - v1.4a - 10 Feb 20

oheimala

Thanks for your excellent tool. I use it for calculating weights of the components. Would it be possible to add there an input field for the density and then show the weight? I have not found such tool made already

Dave R

@oheimala that sounds like a nice option for this tool. FWIW, TIG's Center of Gravity extension will calculate the weight/nass of objects based on the density you enter into the UI. And you get the CoG located, too.

This sounds possible, but a little bit of work for the GUI (density field and choice of units for weight).

I would do as suggested by Dave R. There are specialized plugins, who can handle much better the real caes where the density varies by object.

Hi Fredo... I noticed that SolidVolume still displays volume sometimes differently than other tools:

solid_volume_wrong_volume 4.5a.skp

Thanks for signaling the problem. I actually forgot to update the plugin.

It's now done with FredoTools v4.5c, just published.
