The user can obtain information about the selected mesh object (mesh, sub-mesh or group) using **Mesh Information** dialog box.
-To view the **Mesh Information**, select your mesh, sub-mesh or group in the **Object Browser** and invoke **Mesh Information** item from the **Mesh** menu or from the context menu, or click **"Mesh Information"** button in the toolbar.

The **Mesh Information** dialog box provides three tab pages:
-* :ref:`advanced_mesh_infos_anchor` - to show base and quantitative information about the selected mesh object.
-* :ref:`mesh_element_info_anchor` - to show detailed information about the selected mesh nodes or elements.
-* :ref:`mesh_addition_info_anchor` - to show additional information available for the selected mesh, sub-mesh or group object.
-* :ref:`mesh_quality_info_anchor` - to show overall quality information about the selected mesh, sub-mesh or group object.
+* :ref:`Base Info <advanced_mesh_infos_anchor>` - to show base and quantitative information about the selected mesh object.

-The button **Dump** allows printing the information displayed in the dialog box to a .txt file. The dialog for choosing a file also allows to select which tab pages to dump via four check-boxes. The default state of the check-boxes can be changed via :ref:`mesh_information_pref` preferences.

If **Show IDs** is activated, IDs of selected nodes or elements are displayed in the 3D viewer.
.. note::
- The information about the groups, to which the node or element belongs, can be shown in a short or in a detailed form. By default, for performance rasons, this information is shown in a short form (group names only). The detailed information on groups can be switched on via :ref:`group_detail_info_pref` option of :ref:`mesh_preferences_page`.
