Having troble getting volume or mass properties for a part

I am trying to do some analysis for a roll formed piece of steel which I created with a var/section sweep. When I try to get mass properties or a volume analysis I simply get 0000s for all outputs. I have entered a density in for the mass properties.

I made a solid block just to test and i did get values for volume and mass properties. Is there something special I am not understanding about analyzing a variable section sweep? Thanks.

First thing to check: Is your VSS really a solid, or have you only created a surface, in which case there are no mass properties.
