![[Grasshopper] How to use Volume to obtain the center of gravity and volume of an object](https://iarchway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Volume.png)
This article explains how to use Volume to obtain the center of gravity and volume of an object.
On the Grasshopper it is represented by either of the two above.
Outputting Volume and Center of Gravity Point
Volume can be used to output the volume and center of gravity of a solid or a brep object.
In this article, we will use volume for these three objects.
Basics of Volume
Let’s connect the data of the object whose volume and center of gravity we want to extract to the Volume(G).
In this case, we connect the object data set in the Brep.
Then, the center of gravity of the object is displayed in Rhinoceros.
Output data
Components used: (1) Brep, (2) Volume, (3) Point
The Volume(V) outputs the numerical value of the object’s volume.
The Volume(C) outputs the point of the object’s center of gravity.
