I'm creating a macro for rendering solidworks models. It is meant to render all configurations in an assembly. A piece of code I'm working on has to extract the mass of all configurations and place it at the end of the rendername. For most configurations this works.
Only the ones where there are no models in the assembly, meaning there is no data available in Mass Properties, would give me an error: Type missmatch. The code looks like this (with the location of the error highlighted with **:

End Sub
So I'm wondering if there is a possibility to skip the extraction of properties for the configurations with errors (and if possible replace it with "0" in the rendername).
Hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance!
Looks like you need to skip to the next iteration if you have a mass of zero. To skip to the next iteration, here's how you do it in VBA.
For i = 1 To 3
If SomeConditionTrue Then
GoTo NextIteration
End If
NextIteration:
Next i
