Selection polygon count?

Postby thomthom » Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:05 pm

Is there a way to see the polygon count of the current selection?

I'm working on a file with a total of about 200000 edges and 45000 faces when I count nested components. I didn't create the file initially and I'm now trying to locate meshes with unnecessary high poly count.

You can find this out by switching to wireframe rendering mode, select and hide all the edges of your chosen geometry, then switch back to shaded with textures mode (or any face rendering mode) which will display the faces without the edges. Select all the faces, right-click and select "Entity Info"- a new window will pop up and shows you the number of faces selected. If you don't go through the whole process and just choose "Entity Info" (which can also be chosen from the Window dropdown menu) it'll show you how many entities are selected, but it doesn't distinguish between edges and faces. I actually thought it did, I'll add this to the Wish List forum.

Thanks!
Works well with the Filter plugin that quickly let me filter out just the faces.

But yea, it'd be nice to see stats for a selection of object.
