iProps of Derived Assemblies

Let's say I have an assembly of 4 parts, 3 of those parts are Inconel 625 and one is 316 SST. Each part has it's own iProperties set and thus it's individual mass, etc.

Now, let's say I take that assembly and create a derived part and machine off some material. What do you set that finished machined assembly's iProperties Material as?
Thus how do we get an accurate mass properties readout?

A derived part has its own individual material, so you have to choose witch one you will use, either Inconell or 316. for mass, the error will not be very large (since its different steel qualities). another way to solve this problem is to do the machining in the assembly, and not use the derived feature.
