    im not a export but you may not have solids on your seat convert solid to surface add wire frame and you can move it and analyze it

    Re: getting dimention on a solid

    Not sure what version you're using but this works through most of the X series and presumably 2017-18 (maybe with slightly different function names).

    Go to: Create Curve-All Edges-

    Activate solid selection, choose either face, or body selection mode (or both), then click on your solid/face. It will create a wire frame around it made of arcs lines and splines. Use this geometry for dimensioning and translating.
