We want to select all rounds equal or smaller of a given radius defined by the user and create a named selection with those whose shape is concave and another with those convex.

    PowerSelection method includes an option to filter depending on convex/concave shape. We can make use of it to create our named selections. Please be aware that this scripts makes the rounds search on all available bodies.

    UserRadius = InputHelper.CreateTextBox('Radius(mm)','All fillet below this radius will be selected')
InputHelper.PauseAndGetInput('Select a max fillet radius',UserRadius)

selConvex = PowerSelection.Faces.ByRoundRadius(MM(float(UserRadius.Value)), 
PowerSelectOptions(False, BodySelection.Create(GetRootPart().GetAllBodies())), 
SearchCriteria.SizeComparison.SmallerOrEqual, 
SearchCriteria.RoundType.Convex)
selConvex.SetActive()
result = NamedSelection.Create(selConvex, Selection.Empty())
result.CreatedNamedSelection.SetName("ConvexFaces")

selConcave = PowerSelection.Faces.ByRoundRadius(MM(float(UserRadius.Value)), 
PowerSelectOptions(False, BodySelection.Create(GetRootPart().GetAllBodies())), 
SearchCriteria.SizeComparison.SmallerOrEqual, 
SearchCriteria.RoundType.Concave)
selConcave.SetActive()
result = NamedSelection.Create(selConcave, Selection.Empty())
result.CreatedNamedSelection.SetName("ConcaveFaces")

Selection.Clear()
