Where & how do you assign material to the model?
Thank you for your help.

For mass/FEA calculation or for rendering/images?

Tools -> Materials -> Assign Materials or if you just want to assign a density to a model, Edit -> Feature -> Solid Density.

I have attached a GRIP program that will do that for you.
It has menu selection for the material and then assigns the density to your solid.

Gee Ben, that program looks awfully familiar ;-)

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
