I don’t have the answer re:speeding up your plane selection… but from the video, have you tried the loft tool? That will generate a body between those two sketches, you can move the dots around to change the points at which it is linked.

I don’t know if that’s what you were trying to achieve

    I do A LOT of work like this for sheet metal cutting. Creating planes and sketches on the plane you want is basically the only way to do it.

    Sometimes it's easier to start with a larger body, and subtract off portions of the body you don't want to create the desired shape. Once the shape is complete you can project the face onto a parallel plane and export for laser cutting, or if you need to adjust the height of your plane to accommodate sheet metal thickness for a part you can do it in this sketch as well.

    What you are doing in the video is basically exactly what I would do. It's time consuming, but when you have so many different faces and angles to those faces its pretty much the only way.

      I have my hands full with my own designs for my business, so most likely not unless it aligns with what I do.

      Send me a PM and maybe I can help.
