[request] Polygon count plugin

[ken28875]

Hello guys,

@ TIG: What the hell are you talking about??? LOL

@ Rich: I want to see the polygon count right in Sketchup so I don't have to export back and forth between 2 programs.

@ Jeff: I agree with you. LOL

Thanks,

Currently you can get a full face and edge count. But you want a little more than that, is that what your asking? You would like too see specifically tri faces and quad faces only? What about faces that are mor than quad faces?

Hi Chris,

Yes, something similar to this in Maya:

You said we currently are able to see a full face and edge count. How do you do it?

Thank you,

Copy+paste this into a file called facecount.rb in the Plugins folder

def facecount()
  num=0
  model=Sketchup.active_model
  ss=model.selection
  if ss[0]
    ents=ss.to_a
  else
    ents=model.entities.to_a
  end#if
  defs=model.definitions
  ents.each{|e|num=num+(1)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}
  defs.each{|d|
    d.entities.each{|e|
      n=d.instances.length
      num=num+(1*n)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face
    }
  }
  if ss[0]
    puts "Faces in Selection ="
  else
    puts "Faces in Model+Definitions ="
  end#if
  return num
end#def

To run type facecount in the Ruby Console - it prints the count of faces.

Copy+paste this into a file called tricount.rb in the Plugins folder

def tricount()
  num=0
  model=Sketchup.active_model
  ss=model.selection
  if ss[0]
    ents=ss.to_a
  else
    ents=model.entities.to_a
  end#if
  defs=model.definitions
  ents.each{|e|num=num+(e.vertices.length-2)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}
  defs.each{|d|
    d.entities.each{|e|
      n=d.instances.length
      num=num+((e.vertices.length-2)*n)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face
    }
  }
  if ss[0]
    puts "Potential Triangular-Faces in Selection ="
  else
    puts "Potential Triangular-Faces in Model+Definitions ="
  end#if
  return num
end#def

To run type tricount in the Ruby Console -

it prints the count of potential triangulated-faces [even if they currently have more vertices].

These count all faces in the model and in instances, groups and images...

You can open the Model Info dialog box and it shows edge and face count. Go to Window > Model Info and click on the "statistics" tab. Then make sure you have the statistics set to "Entire Model" and turn on the "Show Nested Components" checkbox. Then it will show you a good bit of info.

Knew I'd see it somewhere!

Hi all,
on a similar topic, it would be great to be able to select a group or component and be able to see statistics just for this specific object.
I am working with heavy scenes and cooperating with other people, and sometimes I have to deal with garbage models within the scene
(it is not uncommon to have a flower pot in some obscure corner that takes up half of the scene's file size)

Even more, it would be nice to have a plugin which helps in optimizing SU model by marking groups and components with colors according to their polygon count.
...
and than gives an option to reduce them (useful for making proxies also)
