How do I determine weight/mass of a part, polar moment of inertia, etc.? As an engineer, I need and use this data all the time.

The [Measure tool](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/7874465678236-Measure) gives you the volume of a body and you can use that as a starting point. At the moment we don’t have features for more advanced calculations (but those are on our roadmap).
