Select many surfaces

Hello

Is there some way to mass-select surfaces in Inventor?

I have imported a STEP file of a plastic component with a complex shape. In the process, every surface was assigned a certain color so if I change the visual style the color does not change.

I thus need to select every small fragment of surface and choose Properties and set Face Color Style to As Part, but this requires me to manually hunt and CTRL-peck on every surface of the object. This is a quite arduous task.

So: Is there some way to just drag a square so that every pertinent entity within it is captured?

Thank you
