Copper distribution calculation

Recently I had some issues with the plating index (that's how Eurocircuits is measuring the copper distribution -
https://www.eurocircuits.com/platingindex-_solutions/
).
I had to re-upload many times the gerber files to see how the index is affected after changes.
Is there any way to calculate this index on Altium;

There is special software to do that.

At panel level this is handled by the board manufacturer.

If my boards are really uneven I will do something like this, but I usually just eyeball the size of the thieving features.
