I think you need to create a VolumeMassProperies Class from the Brep.

You should be able to get the centroid from that.

Hi Mat,

Thanks for quick reply!

Took me a while to figure this out- I kept on referencing a null overload for Centroid. Is it because it's a property and not a method?

P.S.

Here's a reference for rookies like me:

private void RunScript(Brep brep, ref object A)
{

VolumeMassProperties vmp = VolumeMassProperties.Compute(brep);
Point3d pt = vmp.Centroid;
A = pt;

}

Correct. As 'Centroid' is a property of the VolumeMassProperties Object and doesn't require any parameters it is accessed using the dot notation you've shown above.
