   Model Inspector panel (*Geometry*, *Textures*, *MeanRes* plus Strict/Export controls)


This panel consists of three main parts (:numref:`Fig. %s <Model_Inspector00FIG>`): *Geometry*, *Texture* and *MeanRes*.

Current UI layout:

- first row: analysis buttons (*Geometry*, *Textures*, *MeanRes*);
- second row: behavior toggles (*Strict mode*, *Prompt export after MeanRes*);
- third row: dedicated *Export Stats* button.

By clicking on the *Geometry* button the add-on returns some statistics on the geometry of the selected 3D object (*area* and *number of polygons*).

By clicking on the *Textures* button the add-on returns some statistics on the texture of the selected 3D object (*number of materials*, *texture resolution*, *number of textures per resolution*).

By clicking on the *MeanRes* button the add-on returns a summary of all statistical values (*Geometry*, *Texture* and *MeanRes*) concerning the selected object(s): *area*, *polygon count*, *material/texture distribution*, *mean texture resolution* (mm/pixel) and *mean polygon density* (:math:`poly/m^2`).

**Robust statistics mode**

- The inspector now handles meshes without materials/textures without crashing.
- In default mode, unsupported data are skipped and reported in the result (for example: missing materials or missing image textures).

**Strict mode**

- If *Strict mode* is enabled, *Textures* and *MeanRes* fail when required texture/material data are missing.
- Use this mode for QA workflows where incomplete data must be treated as blocking.

**Export behavior**

- *MeanRes* no longer forces file export by default.
- Enable *Prompt export after MeanRes* to open the export dialog automatically after the analysis.
- Use the dedicated *Export Stats* button to save the current statistics table to CSV on demand.
