Selecting big meshes only

[robneto.eng]

If I have a model with heaps of meshes, and I want to find all big meshes (let’s say meshes with more than 20000 faces), is there a command to do it?

I’ve tried SelMesh but it just selects all meshes and don’t have a filter option.

Thanks

Hi there, @Willem and @pascal made some really nice strips for me just for this use case, here:

I need a script for poly-count shaming please

Hi All, The problem: We are working on some very large assemblies (no worry blokes, there are are no blocks there, just layers!) of car stuff and we are trying to decide how much we retopo (it’s all mesh data from car companies) to bring the entire file size down to a manage polycount in VR. In our experience we can run Unreal VR scenes working great with about 6 million polygons on good hardware (RTX cards) but things get less than ideal with our polycount goes up in the 10 million polygons.…

Here is a quick n easy one that may do -

SelMeshByFaceCount.py (736 Bytes)

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

Somewhat misleading name - it finds meshes with the same or more faces as the number you give it…

Thanks mate, it worked perfectly!
