Blender Issue - Vert/Tri/Face count

David_T

Is there a possibility to check the Vert/Tri/Face count of multiple selected objects? and not just 1? i have been looking and just cant find it whatsoever.

You can send the stuff that you don't want to know the polycount to another layer.

The trick is that the behaviour changes based upon your editing mode. When you're in object mode it will give you stats for the whole scene. To include or exclude things from that put things on other layers etc so they're not "there" at that moment.

There's an addon that shows selections in the viewport, similar to 3ds max or Maya do it - shows selected subobject count in edit mode and polycount of selected in object mode. I'm not at the machine so I can't look it up but it may have been called Display Tools. Or it may have been part of Bforartists and I ripped it out of that, can't recall at the moment.

There's also a rudimentary implementation here: https://en.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Mesh/Face_Info_Select

However: if you are on 2.80 then I wouldn't know if these even work on the beta.
