3dtiles information such as the number of triangles

How do I get information such as the number of triangles and faces of the tiles in 3dtiles?

There are different ways of how such information could be obtained, structured, and presented.

(And which details of that information: You mentioned the ‘triangles and faces’, but actually, all faces are triangles. Maybe you referred to vertices? Anyhow, one could also be interested in the number of draw calls, or the number of materials, or textures…)

A first approximation may be what is shown with the 3D Tiles Inspector: The “Logging” category has a subsection “Statistics”, that prints, among other things, the ‘Triangles Selected’. This is basically the number of triangles that are currently displayed.

If you are interested in the number of triangles of a single tile content, then there are also different options, For glTF (.glb) tile content, you can just drag-and-drop the GLB file into https://gltf.report/ and see statistics in the “Metadata” tab.

For other tile content (or if you want to obtain this information for the whole tileset, at once), I’m not aware of an existing tool, but it could be relatively easy to implement something like that.
