Mass Properties of Inheritance Features

[cballantoni]

Does anyone know if there's a way or if it does it already to have the mass properties of Inherited features carried over into the part the inheritance is located in?

So if I inherit one model that is made of steel and another of aluminum into a part, that those features carry that density and other associated mass properties.

Thanks!

A part can only have one density. When you inherit a model into
another, the solid geometry comes in but the mass props are calculated
by the target part's settings rather than the source's. Doing what you
want is better accomplished using an assembly of multiple components.
