Does anyone know if it is possible to find the overall weight of a structure in SAP2000 v11 or v12? I was looking around to see if SAP can calculate it for me, but I haven't had any luck. Thanks

Run your analysis and use the display menu to generate a table report under structural output for base reactions. Look at the load in the Z direction and you will have your answer.

You may have to define load combos or load or analysis cases to define what is included in your "weight" case, but it's right there.
 
Thanks for the response, that was what I was looking for.
