A non-planar face selection filter

[mcramblet]

This one is pretty simple; when it comes to direct modeling and the de-featuring of imported models, it would be nice to have a filter selection of "Non-Planar Faces". I often need to work with imported files and getting down to the base geometry would be much faster if there was a filter that could select the fillets, while leaving the planar faces.

A model like this could be defeatured in a short amount of time, rather than the tedious manual selection of the filleted faces by hand:

Could you share this model? I'd like to make a screencast to show an approach that might save you a lot of time.

Sure, I'd like to see what you have in mind. Here is the base model, I've only made the shelled part back into a "pre-shelled" body.
