Description

This macro red trace (editable) the center face (mass) with 1 point and print the coordinates.

Use

Select one face and launch the macro. 1 point to face are coloured red (can be changed).

To change the color of the dot change the lines 36, 37, 38

red   = 1.0  # 1 = 255
    green = 0.0  #
    blue  = 0.0  # 

The center of the face (mass) surface and the XYZ coordinates of the face are displayed in the report view.
