Figure 3-8: The Polygon Statistics window.
Figure 3-9: A detail of the Polygon
Statistics window from Figure 3-8.
4 Vertices — There are 393 quads in
this model.
>4 Vertices — There are 100 polys
with more than four vertices in this model.
Non-planar — Of all these polys, 10 of
them are non-planar.
Surf: Katana Blade — 163 of these
polys have the Katana Blade surface applied
to them. (This and the remaining items in
the Polygon Statistics window are pop-up
menus that display lists of the surfaces,
parts, or sketch colors you've created for
your object.)
Part: (none) — All 555 of the poly
items in this object belong to the part None
(that is, no polys have been assigned to any
part; this is just a way of grouping polys so
you can easily sift through them later).
Col: (none) — None of the 555 poly-
gon items have been assigned a sketch
color (yet another way of keeping your
polys separate).
Here's what the Polygon Statistics window
tells me about the Katana object:
Total — There are 555 total poly items
in the model.
Faces — Of these 555 total poly items,
555 of them are faces (standard polygons).
Curves — The object has no curves as
part of its geometry.
SubPatches — There are no sub-
patches in this object either.
Skelegons — There are none of Mod-
eler's bone-placement icons, known locally
as skelegons .
Metaballs — There are no instances
of metaballs, a type of digital clay.
1 Vertex — There are no polygons
that have only one vertex.
2 Vertices — There are no polygons
that are made up of only two vertices.
3 Vertices — There are 62 tris in this
model.
