vkmummer,

How would a standard spreadsheet possibly work, unless your complicated frame was a variation of an existing frame that had its own spreadsheet?

3D CAD like SolidWorks will generate COG if you enter density values properly and account for all of your components. You can use a spreadsheet to record the mass and the XYZ coordinates of each and every component.

Can you weigh this thing?
