Hi
I created a solid CAD geometry in FreeCAD using some primitives and boolean operations and I want to verify the number of edges and vertices in the CAD geometry. For example, in SIEMENS NX, one could just select the entire geometry and get the number of faces, edges and vertices displayed at the bottom info bar.
I want to get this information for a CAD geometry in its native freecad format .fcstd or its even better if I could find it for a general STEP format CAD geometry imported in PART or Part Design workbench. I have tried all options and searching the forum and documentation but couldn't find anything. Could someone please suggest something?
Details:
Free CAD version: 0.19, Revision number: 21857\
OS: MacOS Big Sur
Attached a sample file for which I want to check number of edges.

Select the object and run Part >> Check Geometry.

Re: How to count number of edges and vertices of a solid CAD geometry
Hi Gene,
That option is appearing switched off (not highlighted) for me. I followed this https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Part_CheckGeometry to try to add the option myself by editing preferences in FreeCAD. But as soon as I right click on the empty window (step 4 on the link) to be able to set definition of this option, my FreeCAD crashes and quits. Know any workaround?

Somehow, magically it started working after I restarted FreeCAD post 5 crashes

Please attach your full FreeCAD info as described in the IMPORTANT forum rules linked above.
