Utilities panel > Utilities rollout > Polygon Counter
The Polygon Counter dialog shows the number of faces in the current scene, as well as the number of faces in the current selection set. Use the spinners on this dialog to set a budget for both of these values. A bar graph changes from green to yellow to red as you approach and exceed the allocated budget.
Procedure
To use the Polygon Counter:
On the Utilities panel, click Polygon Counter.
Set the spinner on All Objects to create the polygon budget for the entire scene.
Select any individual object and set the polygon budget for the individual object.
When you exceed your limit the graph line will display its end in red.
