[Plugin] FredoTools::CountFacesBySides 1.5a - 19 Dec 11
-
CountFacesBySides counts the faces by number of sides(3, 4 and more) in the model or in the selection (if any), recursively.
The script indicates the total number of faces as well as the number of unique faces(i.e. counting faces only once per component).
It also shows the number of lonely edgesif any as well as the area for all selected faces.This comes from a user request by ken28875 (see http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30952#p272037)

I think the request better fits with ThomthomSelection Toys(by adding an extra parameter with min and max number of sides).

so far I've not got those tools to actually do anything other than sit there.

UPDATE: v1.1
Because I did not know whether it should compute the total number of faces, or only the uniquefaces to take into account Components, the script now calculates both.
