[Plugin] Model Info (1.2.0) — 13 Desember 2010

[thomthom]

Overview
Outputs the model statistics to either console or file.

ModelInfo.png

Version 1.1.0
Count the triangles of each face. In tests this is more than three times slower - so it has been made into an extended function.

Counting triangles is more accurate indication to how complex the model is. As the following screenshot illustrate - the two scenes has identical number of faces, but the number of triangles required to generate the faces is significantly different due to the inner holes in the upper example.

Version 1.2.0
Outputs the component statistics.

Nifty!

Thom, how about a call out on how many poly's have been used?

[thomthom]

You mean triangles?

[Rich O Brien]

Doesn't Fredo have this?

Ah, cool one, never seen that before, thanks Rich.

Thom, I guess there is a lot more to it than just reporting amount of faces as SU does not use triangles, they are n-gons.
Kinda hard to figure out SU's limit due to this inconsistency, had it been triangle based one could get a clearer idea.

[Gaieus]

If you export your model to 3ds or dae, it will get triangulated. When re-importing without merging co-planar faces, you get a clearer poly count with triangles.

Can extract the internal triangulation. SU makes that available to the API. My Probe plugin lets you inspect how SU triangulates faces.

Ok. Did a quick update - added triangle count if you choose Extended Model Info. (Note it's at least three times slower.)

...

this is interesting...

when you choose statistics, you have 2 options:
> entire model (that's what you exported)
> components

could you do the same job, but for "components" instead, and precisely with the developped hierarchy?

could you do the same job, but for "components" instead, and precisely with the developped hierarchy?

You mean the stats for a selected component?

What do you mean by the "developed hierachy"?

the stats for components, instead of "for the whole model"

this...

[thomthom]

Oooh... I never noticed that option before!

[glro]

Oooh... I never noticed that option before!

if you choose this option, the statistics include the nestled components
the whole problem is: how to retrieve this information?

i think i might have a solution coming, but since it is not finished, i have to wait

[thomthom]

I can make it produce that info - just got to wait until next week. Moving apartment this weekend.

Version 1.2.0
Outputs the component statistics.

Thomthom, thank you for this cool plugin. I have noticed an odd thing, though. I copied and pasted a few components from a file called "spinet desk" to a new file and saved it as a new file. Evidently the plugin is still looking at the other, closed original file and giving the stats for that as well. Or is it possible the console isn't cleared when switching to a different SKP file? Is it possible to clear the contents of the console before processing and displaying a new run of the plugin?

[thomthom]

vidently the plugin is still looking at the other, closed original file and giving the stats for that as well. Or is it possible the console isn't cleared when switching to a different SKP file?

The console output is not interactive. Just a history of the output. You find the latest output at the bottom. Notice that in your screenshot it says "Drawer.skp" further down.

Is it possible to clear the contents of the console before processing and displaying a new run of the plugin?

I have a Windows hack I could add. Don't know how to do it for OSX. ...but you might have some that don't want it cleared... I'd rather not add too many options to this. It's just a quick and dirty plugin.

[Dave R]

Understood. Thank you for this.

[Ben Ritter]

Thank you again TIG.
