Summary
The GT_CGRAV command in GeoTools calculates the center of gravity (CG) of selected closed polylines, making it an essential tool for engineering, structural analysis, and land planning. This tool helps determine the geometric centroid of mass distributions, providing critical data for balance calculations, load distribution, and structural design.

Key Features Include:
- Computes the center of gravity (CG) of closed polylines representing mass areas.
- Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
- Displays the CG coordinates on screen for quick reference.
- Automatically places a point object at the computed CG location.
- Ideal for structural engineering, surveying, and land development analysis.
- Useful for load balancing, material distribution, and geospatial analysis.
Benefits:
With GT_CGRAV, users can efficiently determine the center of gravity of enclosed shapes, ensuring accurate engineering, architectural, and planning calculations.
