      It sounds like you should be using a Component, then you only have to do it once.

      Posting an example of what you are doing would help answer your question.

        Here's an example. I had to select the same 7 edges each time I used the follow me tool.

          If they are all identical, create one, make it a component then make 30 copies.
          Select the component, use the move tool and Ctrl and move one copy, then type in 29X enter and you will have 30 copies spaced the same way.

            In addition to what Ben said, you could also just select the face that is made from those 7 edges, then "follow-me" πŸ˜‰

              What Marcus says. And do you remember my example file? There I also "instructed" to (just) click on that face.

              See also SelectionMemory plugin (free):

              or the commercial version:

                ...and you can weld a set of edges together so 1 click selects them all, note that this may create unwanted smoothing but that is easily fixed with the Soften Edges dialog box when finished.

                    Before to know if the profil Builder makes the trick
                    You can select your 7 segments in a one selection rectangular πŸ˜‰
                    So just one mouse's move for selection
                    one move for select the Followme Tool
                    and one click on the face β˜€

                      another funny one πŸ˜‰
                      Copy Move the profil as group to each triangles
                      (easy as your triangles are equally positioned so a "copy move multiple")
                      Call the Outliner
                      Select a group in the Outliner
                      Right click explode
                      Follow me tool
                      select triangle's face
                      Click
                      Select a group in the Outliner
                      etc... β˜€

                      PS I have also old fingers πŸ˜’

                          Tig wins! 😎
                          I have forgotten the power of "think lateral" β˜€

                          Have you try "Profil Builder" ? I don't know yet if "Profils multiple" is possible?
