Select only top surface?
- 
Is it possible to select only the top surface in this sandbox mesh without having to shift-click every face one by one?

 - 
One option.

And the fencing the other way.

Yes, thanks, I´m aware of that procedure, but it wouldn´t work in this attached example (should´ve posted this one in my first post I guess). Would be nice with a plugin to select every surface that was originaly facing a certain direction. The top one in this case.

 - 
soften/smooth it (right click ->soften) then the top surface is selectable.
copy it first if you need the hard lines again later. move it on top the smooth one and the lines will reappear.
 - 
Easiest way is to smooth the surfaces then just select the top.
Same time again.
 - 
that's what she said!
(or did I use the joke wrong?
 ) - 
I smoothed the object but everything still gets selected when I click twice or three times.

 - 
Turn off hidden geometry and click once on the top.
Edit> no you have over smoothed it, you want the sides to stay as hard edges.

Nice! Thank you! This will come in handy for sure.
