  • $\begingroup$ Hi thank you for your response. Unfortunately I would love to have a general solution to select all the outer faces only with a python algorithm. I think this is possible with some light_exposure > 0 test since internal faces have zero light exposure or some other algorithm? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry I should have specified it in the title that i'm looking for a python solution since the manaul selection process would not be feasible since there are way too many faces to select in the model. I updated the title. Sorry again.. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Don't worry. The python tag should be enough. I understood what you are looking for, but this answer is a bit of a frame challenge, that may be helpful for users who reach this question via the search. If you think it is not fitting or doesn't suit the question you can always downvote, that way useful answers rise to the top. =) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hey thats a good point! gonna downvote it right now hahaha just kidding. My workaround was selection in vertex mode and now with this answer I realized that Edge selection is even more convenient as the workaround so thanks for that! I hope though i can find a python solution. That be sooo powerful since I could easily eliminate internal faces for any mesh! personally i think blender should have such a built-in selection feature. $\endgroup$
