I found that when putting down a brace on a building, all the mass for that brace is located in the spot where it was originally created and that none is put on the spot where it connects to the other part of the building. this makes building things like helicopters and planes which need a very specific Center Of Mass a little more annoying as all the braces put down on such devices have to be created from specific points as to not put the device off balance. One way around this is to have two braces connecting the same spots by having one starting at point A and ending at point B and the other starting at point B and ending at point A to cancel out one another. This fix obviously adds more weight to the device which is annoying especially for airborne machines.
I hope that this gets fixed!

Indeed, this is a known issue, that has been posted multiple times.
For the time being, just be careful where you start your braces, to try mirror it on the other side.

I think you perceived this problem wrongly. After my experiments, I think the Center of Mass sign is broken rather than the actual center of mass. I built a scale and assigned more weight on the right hand side. Then I added a lot of braces starting from the left. Now the mass of center sign is on the left, while after simulation the scale still shows the right hand side is heavier. Attachments:test2.bsg (2.02 KB)
