Navigation:  Weight & Cost Tracking > Managing Weight and Cost Properties

To help in managing the assignment of weight and cost properties to the objects in the model, Orca3D provides a function to help you see what objects have Material Properties assigned, and a tabular view of the objects with Material Properties.

 

Selecting Objects with Material Properties

This selection command has two options:

Note that like other selection commands in Rhino, objects that are hidden, locked, or on layers that are turned off will not be selected.

Using this command, you can quickly check your model to see if any objects do not yet have Material Properties assigned.

 

Tabular View of the Objects with Material Properties

This command brings up a tabular view, listing all of the objects in the model that have Material Properties assigned to them. For each object, the name, weight, CG, and cost data is shown, and at the bottom, the totals are displayed for each column. (Objects can be assigned a name through the Orca3D Tree, or Rhino's Properties dialog).

Add Weight/Cost Point

To add a point object to the model with weight and cost data, click on Add Weight/Cost Point. The following dialog will be shown:

 

Edit Weight/Cost Properties

Select one or more objects in the list, and click on Edit Weight/Cost Properties. The Weight/Cost properties dialog will be shown. See Assigning Weight/Cost Properties.

Clear Weight/Cost Properties

To remove Material Properties from one or more objects, select the desired object(s) from the list and click on Clear Weight/Cost Properties. This will remove the Material Properties from the object(s). The object(s) will remain in the model.
