Fusion 360 centre of gravity

[duncan webster 1Participant @duncanwebster1]

Can one of you 3-D cad boffins advise will Fusion 360 work out where the centre of gravity of a complex shape is? If so it looks like I'm starting out on another learning curve.

F360 works out the centre of mass of any body or group of bodies for you.

Should add that you must assign the correct materials to each component or body in the design.

As Swarf Maker says Fusion360 does it for you:

1. Assign the correct Physical Material to each component or body with the Browser. (The default is Steel.)
2. Select the Body, Component, or whole Assembly
3. In the Inspect tab, select Center of Mass

A centre of mass glyph is added to the 3d drawing.
