Hi rolnxyz,

re:

It looks like you found this one already? There is another version here too:

Right but MoI is not a poly modeling program and isn't designed to work on faceted model geometry like you have here. You're much better off doing this type of poly modeling in a program that's designed to do that type of work like cinema4d, blender, etc... like you mention.

For the Window selection method, drag the window in a view where you're looking straight down on the face, that will make it easier to capture them all in one window:



It should be possible though to make a script that will grow selection to adjacent faces that are coplanar. I'll see about cooking one up for that.
