Hi Dimitri, When you have a question or example please post the 3DM file containing the actual geometry instead of only a screenshot. That helps because then I can make sure I'm using your same objects to test with and to answer your question.

You can use window selection as I described above, you do not have to select them one by one. Start by selecting one face to make the window selection target faces.
In this case I'd switch to split view and use left-to-right "only target fully contained" window selection like this:

Hi klaudio,

That's a pretty unusual example, because I would usually expect to see the fillet placed after doing the inset, not before.
But just as you described if you do a little bit of planning you can solve that problem and not be required to do individual picks if you use the window selection method before doing the filleting. That way there aren't little fillet surfaces in the way and then assign a name or style to those faces which will persist after filleting. Then they can be selected by one click in the scene browser and you are not required to pick them with individual clicks.

Thanks for the detailed explanation Michael, I would never imagine that there is such a way of selecting similar items in a scene! : -)

That's so cool - great to know how that works.
