How do I find out how much memory a polygonobject takes? In Cinema 4D when I right click on a polyobject, there´s an object information that approximately tells you how much. I want this information too. Is there a (fast, not necessary but would be fine :) way to get those?
Thanks

PS.: This is not for memory allocation, I need it in KB (guess the amount in the RAM for this object)

Hi Samir,

I guess the biggest part of a polygon object takes the node list (array of Vector) and the polygon list (array of Polygon). Edges "exist" explicitly only when they are selected.

So a good size estimation should be::
<CODE> sizeData = obj->GetPointCount()*sizeof(Vector) + obj->GetPolygonCount()*sizeof(Polygon);</code>

Then you have to add the size of the selection lists, which seem to be dynamically.

Ciao,
Marcus
