The way I've always seen this done is from model properties.  File --> Prepare --> Model Properties --> Names (Change).  Just pick a face (surface) and name it.

This works for any of these types:

Uwe,

I've found personally that the easiest way to name a surface is to use the "Parameters" window.

With your model open, go to Tools -> Parameters. In the window that appears, change the dropdown to select "Surface"

You can then enter the desired name - here I use "SIDE_OF_BOX" as the name.

Once that is complete, your surface will have the assigned name.

You can check this using the "Find" tool (CTRL+F) - and searching for "Surfaces" - "By Name". You should see your new name in the list of results.

There may be a much faster way to do it... but that's just what I've always done

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
