Project statistics by component

bupaje · 8 May 2011, 18:38

Not sure if this is something I overlooked but is there a way to to see statistical information by component/group? My computer is already bogging down with a model and it seems relatively small to my noob eye - about 36000 edges / 15000 faces / 290 component instances. I figure it is a good chance to learn optimization and would like to see if possible to identify the worst culprits from a list

ie

Door 1 1500 edges 230 faces
Window 4000 edges 200 faces
etc

There's a plugin [Goldilocks v2] that give visual feedback based on distance from camera. For example, if you a hi-poly object far from view that it's detail is unnecessary it'll indicate it.

There's also TIG's Xref tool, but i'm not familiar with it's working to comment.

Thomthom has a Model Info plugin but it may not fulfil your needs.

I suppose using layers is the best option to maintain smooth navigation. Or share the model to see what members do to lower file size?

I'll look into these. I will eventually share the model - right now I want to try to reduce it myself as this is a useful skill for me to learn. It will also help me decide how to build better - for example I know there are some things that have more detail than is needed. Thanks Rich.
