Assembly Mass and MOI

How do I calculate the mass and moment of inertia of an ensemble of parts of different material types? Or more simply :how do you assign material properties to a part and have those properties be used by the calculations?
One More Time
Is it really not possible to do this? It seems like a very basic CAD function.

Gary,

Currently you can define mass density etc. to calculate the mass and moment of inertia. But in the current version it cannot be done for assemblies consisting of parts made of different materials. It should be possible in future.

Mass can be done ....
by defining the material and mass in the BOM then summing in a spreadsheet.
