Metals List

Metals List

The Metals List command calculates the weight of every solid object in the document (Breps, extrusions, meshes, and SubDs — gems and diamonds are ignored) and writes the result as text.

When activated, it displays a checklist of available metals, letting you choose one or more to calculate:

The list includes 24k gold, yellow/white/rose/green gold in several karats (22k, 18k, 14k, 10k, 9k), gold chocolate, platinum, silver, palladium, and wax.

After you pick the metals, you are asked to click a point — either in the modelling viewport or inside an open Report — where the calculated weights will be written as text.

For each selected metal, two weight columns are written: the raw weight, and a Processed weight that subtracts the finishing/polishing loss percentage configured in the plugin options. This tool ensures that the chosen materials are clearly documented, facilitating both internal workflow and client communication.
