Window Select Surfaces in Thicken Command

[MattH_Work]

It would be nice to be able to window select surfaces for use with the Thicken command. When shell fails, I need to resort to thickening individual faces. This is a laborious task when 100's of faces are involved

Offset and Thicken use the same dialog so we need to do both [US4619]

Accepted idea [US4619]. Thanks!

Can we also extend this functionality to include the "Delete Face" Command?  I ran across a scenario recently with some complex geometry for a mold and had to deconstruct some solid geometry to get to the cavity and runners for the mold.  I tried to use the combine, derive - subtract an assembly, and copy objects tools, but couldn't get those to go.  Similar to MattH, I found it time consuming  to have to pick individual surfaces until I could eliminate enough surfaces to use the lump selection option for "Delete Faces".  If this should be posted under a different idea, please let me know and I can do that.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Hope all is well and have a most blessed night!

Peace,

Pete
