Why we like it

A focused utility for spotting high-vertex objects in a scene. It counts geometry as it appears in the viewport, modifiers included, which suits cleanup and optimization passes.

What is Select By Minimum Vertices Count Add-On?

Select By Minimum Vertices Count Add-On is a Blender tool that selects objects based on their viewport vertex amount. You enter a minimum vertex count, and the add-on keeps selected every object that meets or exceeds that number. It takes into account any added modifiers, such as Subdivision, so the count reflects the actual viewport geometry.

A "Run on Selected" toggle lets you check only your current selection, or turn it off to run the check across all visible objects. The add-on also works on Curves and Geometry Nodes. Results appear right away, showing which objects fit your criteria. The developer notes it runs fast, demonstrating it on a test scene of 3,266 objects.

Install it in the Add-Ons panel, then open the Side Panel (N), or invoke the command by searching for "Select by Minimum Vertices Amount" to bring up a popup with the same settings. From there you click to run on selected or all visible objects. The add-on is aimed at game developers cleaning up models, 3D artists managing scene complexity, and animators preparing assets before animation.

Who is Select By Minimum Vertices Count Add-On best for?

Does Select By Minimum Vertices Count Add-On account for modifiers like Subdivision?
