Hi is there an editor or a way to see the current number of selected Points/Edges/Faces? Maybee also to transfer it to a group.

Not sure of a way to directly show the number of selected faces, but while they are selected, in the viewport you can tab -> group geometry, which will put them in a group. You can then mmb on the group to see how many are in it.

The details view will also highlight the selected prims.. but that still doesn't tell you how many.

If your doing a non procedural approach to grouping. You can always drop a group sop down. Select it hit enter in the network view. Then in the viewport press the back tick on your keyboard ( top left ) . The group sop gets temporarily disconnected from the tree. Using the selection tool then add or take away points from your selection using the control / shift keys . Once happy just hit enter over the viewport and the groups sop will automatically connect back to the network with your new selection.

Cool. Thanks.
I found sth. in the python doc but it only returns the points like they were listed in the group node:

import toolutils

scene_view = toolutils.sceneViewer().selectGeometry()
print scene_view

It would be very nice to have a few new rows in the geometry spreadsheet. These rows can be toggled so they are only calculated upon the user's request. They can show the info for the currently selected points (or other primitives). This info can be, for example, the total number of selected points, the average/sum of the positions, and other attributes. If there is already such a feature, please kindly let me know. Thanks!
