Select tangent faces
On the scene toolbar, from the Method list, select Tangent Faces.The Type Filter is automatically set to Polygon Face.
(Optional) Click Smart Selector Options to do any of the following, and then click OK:To set the maximum angle between two adjacent faces below which they are considered tangent, type the value in the Tangent Angle Tolerance box.To stop the selection at a non-manifold boundary (such as a single edge shared by two or more faces in a T-type intersection), select the Stop at Non-manifold Junctions check box.If you clear this check box, the selection extends beyond the non-manifold boundary along the most tangent face.To apply the current selection method only to entities displayed in the graphics window, select the Select Only Visible Entities check box.
Select a face.The software selects that face and all appropriate faces tangent to it.
