Where is the cleanup menu in 2.74? I can't find any sort of mesh clean-up menu. I'd like to be able to find Ngons/degenerated faces/ect. quickly on large, complex meshes. Maya is great for this (highlights their locations without auto-fixing them). Can Blender do this?

I've checked the manual. It says to go to Mesh >> Cleanup. Where is this exactly?
First, you need to be in Edit mode, then check the 3d view header (the bar at the bottom) of the 3d view and you will see the Mesh menu item.



Additionally, you can press Space and search for the operation you want to perform if you know the name.



You can use Select Faces by Sides[citation] to select all the n-gons like maya
