...

You have to turn off the option which shows this info. The same option also shows the selected objects geometry data at the center top of your viewport. I don't have this tool to check which this option is located, so try to find it in the Settings of the tool.

Check this: Viewport Stats, Show Tris Count, etc. - https://remusjuncu.com/rappatools/features.html#tools

numbers near the cursor

Better tell me how to turn off this stupid numbering near the cursor, it only gets in the way, especially when it doesn't work in sync with the cursor movement, the number constantly writes and jumps around the screen... it's really annoying, this setting isn't even in settings

Hi ttus here is my fix

1. Create "RappaTools3Closing.ms" in 3ds max startup folder (C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\{3dsmax version}\ENU\scripts\startup)
2. put this line in the ms file 
    try DestroyDialog ::RappaTools3UI Catch()
3. Save

In next launch, you will not see the UI.
