I imported a .stp file and got this motor reducer assembly: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/96926fdf99cd2e3de6461ad5/w/1a1dc9a7bf5a2089c598e726/e/af63ce359e5447dcfd65c937
I'd like to assign material to each part of the assembly so mass properties can be shown. What is the workflow to accomplish this?
