Daily Blender Secrets - Find the triangles in a dense mesh

Select - select all by trait - Faces by sides - change vertices number to 3. To differentiate quad from others, type vertices to 4 and change type to "not equal to".

[Aristocle]

you can use a sccript that search faces with 3 vertices.

Personally, I think that when a mesh is so dense that you can't even find a triangle, then it's not worth wasting time trying to correct it since its impact would be negligible. (not talking necessarily about the mesh in the video).
But of course, it depends from case to case, but this video shows a very helpful trick nonetheless.

Could this work with Ngons too? Or could you select all quads and Tris, and then invert the selection to do it that way?

[gamingneeded]

There is a built in feature in blender that allows you to select faces by number of sides, in search feature type select faces by sides, using this feature is self explanatory and it allows you to select ngons with any number of verts. The method you showed is just unnecessary.
