Selected object resource usage

Hello, it would be a nice to see in the status bar what the resource usage is for a selected object in addition to the scene usage. How much RAM and Video Memory does the selected object exactly use etc.

There's this nice free addon CheckToolBox by VFX Grace that aims to show information about selection and scene and stuff. Other addons have done this in the past, but I think this one is the best of its kind.

I'd suggest you to contact the author and propose your idea, he might be interested.

I've been trying for days to identify what specific object in a scene I downloaded is responsible for the oddly large file size.

* @thinsoldier * Use scene statistics.

* @mrajendra2150 * Problem is that statistics shows the whole scene, he needs to know what the specific model is in that scene that causes it.

* @krivaldiszc * In some files scene stats are useless because the file size bloat is caused by a random packed texture (but the description of the file on the website said it contained no textures) and the only way I know to find that is to unpack all textures.

I agree, that is indeed a good idea
