How to change the viewport statistics?

Submitted by er.cchadw.ck@gm... on Fri, 2014-03-21 07:14

I would like to change the Viewport Statistics to show specific data... Triangle Count, Vertex Count, and Selection.

I review 3ds Max models submitted by outsourcers, so I press 7 to see the stats, but I constantly have to change the settings in Viewport Config to get the stats I need.

Looking through the MAXScript help, there doesn't seem to be a way to change it? The only thing I could find is viewport.GetFPS() but I don't really need the fps.

Maybe it has to be custom text printed to the viewport? See this post:

Any help is much appreciated!

Checkbox for FPS is added. by default it is OF, so the script will remove the FPS info from the statistic.

The only way to access the Viewport Statistich through maxscript is by usint UIAccessors which is a bit tricky. Custom script will works, but for heavy scene I don't know how faster/slower it will be compared to the default Viewport Statistic.
