      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?
