I have a CATPart which has multiple bodies, when I tried to collect it's volume by using VB it only return the value of the partbody (1) only. I tried to do analyze inertia manually then it does give me the total volume of all the bodies, that what I expect it to do. Is my script missing something, can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Dim pVolume As Double
pVolume = products1.Item(i).Analyze.Volume

Hi Camille,
My question is: did you make Boolean Operations between the different bodies? Maybe your formula is good but at the end you should have everything assembled in one body.

Jozsef,
They are separate body. You can try to create multiple bodies in your CATPart and do analyze volume it will give you the total volume of all of the bodies.
