Weight computed by quatos is not the real weight (solved)

[plexus]

Hi,
I have the hobby licence of quatos.
The weight of my quad X8 coax is 2398 g
When I convert the XML file (see below) with quatos tools the weight now is 2758g.

with only Mass motor and arm, quatos tools give me a weight of 1184 g

Why that difference of 360g with the reality ?
See the mass below:

<mass>
<motor>78</motor>
<arm>50.0</arm>
<cube name="Body" dimx="0.180" dimy="0.180" dimz="0.015" offsetx="0" offsety="0" offsetz="0">434</cube>
<cube name="AQ6" dimx="0.064" dimy="0.053" dimz="0.0017" offsetx="0" offsety="0" offsetz="-0.018">66</cube>

Hi Alain,

for me it looks like the arms are taken 8 times instead of only 4 times and some other parts which are not in your XML are taken 8 times (maybe the ESCs), because it returns a total of 30 objects, but you have only 18 objects, doubling the arms would make it 22 and adding 8 ESCs fror example would lead to the reported 30 objects.
I hope someone from the team will be able to confirm this or correct my assumption by providing the right explanation for the discrepancy.

Hi duke,
Yes it is strange.
But what choose, because if i take the value given b quatos i am out and i will be very desapointed.
