Selection counter in maya

I'm a 3ds max user who has to learn maya and I'm missing a small function which 3ds max has, the posibility to see how many vertex,edge or faces you have select, a very nice feature to know that you only select the ones you have to. Does maya have something similar?

its called polycount
what you do is: Display -> Heads Up Display -> PolyCount (the 2nd one) toggle it On and Off.

You can make a shelf button of it using Ctrl+Shift and LMB click. if u use it too much is nice to have it there.

I advise you to customize a shelf using CtrlShiftLMB laying usefull butons there.
if you cant see your shelfs HOLD Space bar, click on the right of the menu and choose Shelf.

I came from 3dmax 2, im glad to use maya now, guees u'll b too.

Thanx alot

That was a really great answer and I also think I will like Maya in the future, I just need to learn the interface and workflow which is very different from max, but so far it's going good
