Determine assembly geometry properties, num of faces, etc.
(OP)
I have an assembly in IV 2010 and I am trying to get an idea of how large "heavy" it is by showing the properties of the assembly like number of components, number of faces(total of all components) etc. I can't seem to find a menu selection to do this. Is there a way? For example to window box my assembly with a face selection filter on and have it give me a total face count for the assembly?

What do you mean by heavy, projected drag area, mass.. there may be another way to achieve the same end result.

You might look into Shrinkwrap.
To get the number of faces save as STEP.
Open into Construction Environment.
Unstitch solid(s).

Anyway, why not just monitor your memory usage when you have the components open?
Don't people normally use this information to submit files of smaller size, not larger?..

I can only guess, but I suspect the OP is after information along these lines.

It might help in obtaining useful information to write a complete problem description.

You can use the AEC Exchange Environment's Check Design tool to see how many faces and edges you would have. It is a nice trick to see this upfront.
