    Dear API gurus,

    Does anyone have a macro they would share, that calculates the section
    properties of an assembly at a selected plane?

    Thanks in advance.

    How many bits in the assembly?

    You can take a section view of the model (or a drawing), select all the
    faces, and use tools-section properties to get this info...

    (for a particular plane, select it as the section plane when defining the
    section view in the model)...

    Aussie,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The issue I have with the current implementation is the amount of effort
    required to select the individual faces that intersect the section plane.

    My API skills are lacking and I was hoping someone had all ready addressed
    this issue.

    Best regards,
