Can not select face of cylindrical part for milling

I am trying to mill a part using my 4th axis in a Haas mill.  I have been able to get some roughing tool paths by using "rotary" option under multi-axis.  I usually use 2d with a wrapped tool path for this kind of part.  This is a much more complex design than I have made in the past, and I would rather not waste time selecting each contour individually.  Is there a way to select the face of the cylinder.  I've been able to do this in Inventor adaptive 2d, but it will not allow me to do this in Fusion.  Inventor crashes every time I try to program this part.  I've left my current tool paths in the file attached.  Thanks!

Do an include 3D geometry of the surfaces of the model then you can use this as your toolpath.

Thanks for the response!  I tried this morning and it did not solve the problem.  I can select each contour already, which is all this solution would allow.  I would like to select the face of the cylinder and have each contour edge to be selected.  I have no problem doing this on a flat model, but it will not work on this cylindrical surface.
