Question:How do I use "make rigidbody"?

Hi,

A right click on the visualization CAD geometry icon, attaching an STL file, activates a pop up list of options. One of the options is "make rigidbody". The units are for the MKS system. I must be doing something wrong, the derived rigidbody mass is far greater than actual mass. For example a weight of 20 pounds results in a mass of 1.02566226*10^12 KG. The mass is not even close, even after comparing weight and mass or apples and oranges. So far I have not found documentation for the "make rigidbody" option. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You.
