Hi Robert,

Yes currently MoI only looks for "regular" objects and does not deal with block instances in a 3DM file.

Another way is to use the Explode command in Rhino and then save as a different 3DM file, the Explode command in Rhino converts block instances into regular independent objects.

Yup, it's definitely something I want to add in the future, I'll probably be digging into it in the v4 time frame.
