Im guessing you really want to see the tri count as HL2 works on tris, first off save your model, just incase. Select the whole model and right click > convert to > editable patch, this turns the model in to tris. Then you want to go to File > summery info... this is where it will give you all the infomation on your model, including polly counts. Once you done that you can either just undo the editable patch modifer or just open up what you have just saved, saying no to save changes.

...editable mesh gives you the tri count. select everything you want a total tri count of, right click and go to properties and itll be about half way down on the right. much easier and doesnt turn your model into tris cause i find that incredibly irritating for some reason

you can click on the tab in the model props, that looks like a hammer, then hit more and select polygon counter.
