I'll ask, since I hope it will save time instead of looking at the code. Is the "center of mass" option actually calculating a center of mass or is it calculating a centroid? A centroid would be equivalent to the center of mass of a set of equally massive points at the vertexes. A true center of mass would require some kind of tetrahedralization and integration over the interior mass of an object. That seems quite heavy duty so that is why I'm having doubts that this feature is named correctly.
