Description
This macro lets you know the volume information surface area, center of mass and moment of intertia of the selected object.
Installation
If you're on Linux, you need to create a folder named "Mod" in the .FreeCAD hidden folder which is located in your Home folder. Then create a folder named "Info" in the "Mod" folder, and extract the content of the archive in it. On Windows, I have no idea where that would be. Use the same procedure to Windows in C:\Program Files\FreeCAD\Mod.
How to use
Then start FreeCAD, open your STEP file and switch to the "Info" workbench with the workbench switcher or by going to the View --> Workbench menu. Now select your solid, and click on the "Info" icon; the left taskbar will show some information on the model, including volume, surface area, center of mass and moment of intertia.
