Review entity count per group/comp?
-
Hi all,
I have a circumstance where I need every group in my model to have exactly 18 entities (12 lines, 6 faces). I have quite a few (hundreds) groups and componants by now that I have to keep track of. I was wondering if there is any way (either natively or ruby) to be able to review these numbers. I'm thinking of something like the outliner where I can see the number of antities. But anything really, as long as I can quickly find anything that does not have the 18 entities I need. My current process is going through each group and checking, which takes quite a while.
Thanks guys,
Scott

Scott,
Here's a quickie to count the faces and edges. Adds "Check Groups" option the Plugins menu. This assumes the Groups are all top-level in the model and not nested inside other Groups or Components. If it finds an error, it clears the selection, pop-ups a message, and highlights the bad Group. Repeat until you get no pop-ups.

Quite a different topic but have a look at the bit of code in this post:
As it walks through the groups and components, I guess you only need to add some code to count the faces and edges of each.
Outputting to a webdialog would be good so that you could use some javascript to list rogues as links so you can identify and fix them one by one*.
I would be interested to find out if this approach turns out to be useful.
