Dear Shapr3D Team,

I have a suggestion regarding selecting surfaces (Faces) in the application. Recently, I explored the nesting feature for CNC, as described in your tutorial here:

> CNC cutting is a widely used manufacturing method where a certain shape is cut from a sheet of material such as wood, metal, or plastic. CNC cutting begins after a set of steps, called toolpath, is...

In connection with this, I often need to select multiple surfaces to use the **Project** tool and create sketches based on my design layout. However, when working with a large number of objects, selecting each surface individually is very time-consuming.

It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to select multiple objects and then automatically highlight and select only the Faces aligned on a specific plane. This feature would save significant time and streamline the process of preparing designs for CNC nesting or similar tasks.

Please let me know if this feature could be considered for future updates. I’d be happy to provide additional details, screenshots, or screen recordings if needed.

Thank you for your amazing work on Shapr3D!

Best regards,
