It looks like your box and cylinder are POV-Ray 'primitive shapes'--meaning,
they are not polygons, but generated by POV-Ray from mathematical
functions--which means they have (almost) infinite precision, and you can get
closer and closer to them and they will still look smooth.

So there is no way to get 'polygon information' from such shapes.

POV-Ray doesn't 'create' polygon models (although there are exceptions--see
"shapes.inc", for example.) Polygon models are usually made in some other
modeling program, then imported into POV-Ray for rendering.
