[IFC] weight for an element from Pset_MaterialCommon

edited February 2023 in General

Hi, I am trying to get the gross and net weight for an element instantiated with IfcRectangleHollowProfileDef and IfcMaterial assigned as Aluminum. I have also assigned MassDensity property Pset_MaterialCommon for Aluminum and also added the SI unit for Mass unit.
However, the weight of the instance is coming as 0.0
Any idea what is the mistake that I am doing

    I saw this post from @Moult on this subject regarding confusion on IfcMaterialProperties.
    So I guess its not really possible to link the density of the material to get the weight of the object?

    Are you trying to do it with a python script of through the Blender UI?

    This functionality does not exist yet I think. Would you mind filing it as a bug?
