It would be neat to see “Tipping Force Calculator/Checker” similar to the “Design Checker” tool for checking stability of your designs.
Thanks Mike - This is good feedback. We had written this blog post on this topics back in 2018. Agree with you it would make sense to have a calculator. I sent the feedback to the product team
We have a few calculator already for your reference:

Really like the web imbedded script deflection calculators and ROI tool, I’ve used them before so props to whoever developed them, super simple and straight forward to use! 
Yea it’s probably a big ask (especially with the amazing ingenuity/creativity I’ve seen on some of the designs in the community, then adding in robotic motion/carriage momentum/etc.), but I’m sure it would be a helpful tool for those creating simple carts, workbenches, part carriers, etc.

In the meantime, you can copy-paste this 18 degrees cone from the following design: 18 deg Cone for Stability Check | Vention
This is what our team does to make your stability check faster.
We will place the cone at location of the center of mass (using a conservative approximation).
If the feet or wheels of the design are inside the cone’s volume or close, then we widen the base.

Is there a way to calculate centre of gravity in machinebuilder?
Not yet @brad-henrie, but you can select a group of parts and use the “Calculate Weight” feature from the right-click menu to get a rough idea.
When I need more precision, I export my design into a .step file that I use with a 3rd party software.
