You can pick multiple faces to create a multi-face offset surface. Unfortunately, you still have to mouse-click them one at a time.

[bat]Good and evil: wrap them up and disguise it as people.[bat]
 
If you set the filter to surfaces you can window select all the surfaces in a view
 
Here's another hint - did your mother ever teach you to knit? (Look it up in Help and see if it is appropriate for your application.)

3/4 of all the Spam produced goes to Hawaii - shame that's not true of SPAM also.......
 
If you are using SW 2003 Ctrl select all the surfaces in the graphics area or feature tree then right click over them and choose 'Add to New Folder'.
This collects all of your choosen surfaces in one place so selecting them in future operations is a snap.
When your done with that just delete the folder - it will not delete the contents, that will all go back into the feature tree.
Is this good enough?
I personally think there should be some kind of better grouping tool- hell even autocad had that.
Maybe 2004 ?
 
if you want to eliminate picking face by face, just turn on the knit tool and window select what you want..
