Thicken/Offset and select all faces

Hello Inventor Gurus,

 

How can I thicken/offset an entire part without having to select all the faces individually?  The 'chain select' option is not good enough for selecting all faces/surfaces that meet and form an edge with no fillet.

 

Is there still no way of doing this in 2012?

 

Cheers,

 

Jay

A little less work than selecting all the faces.

No selection for shell outward.

Delete a couple of faces.

Patch outer face.

Sculpt.
