My math teacher hated me. She would beat me unmerciful and use sounds of warrior robot apes fighting over canned meat in equations in a feeble attempt to stifle my creativity… It didn’t work. And neither did her or anyone’s warnings of manipulating the estimated mass of objects.

In SolidWorks you can apply materials to your solid geometry to get a weight. You can also add your own densities to approximate a weight, so that, based on the volume of, lets say, a robotic ape face, you’ll get a mass that works perfectly to strike fear into the minds of others. In doing so, you may find a need to manipulate mass here or there. I’m here to lead you astray and show you a few tricks that will aid in your endeavor.
