Inertia moments of a section

Most of the 3D CAD softwares allow the calculation of the property of a section, I mean moments of inertia, polar moments of inertia and so on, but it seems Onshape cannot.
I think is a big issue, no way to solve this soon?

    Could you split the part with a custom plane to get there today?

    I agree we should be able to calculate these from a selection of faces or when using the section viewing tool. 
    I imagine it would be a flyout from the bottom right in addition to the current measurements
