Can you select a surface when rendering by construction?

Is there a way to select a surface and access the OS:Surface properties when rendering by construction in OpenStudio/SketchUp? When rendering by construction if you click into a specific OS:Space and then click on a surface it will bring up the OS:Construction properties of the selected surface.

Obviously for smaller projects when working switching between rendering by SurfaceType and construction will work, but for larger projects (1000000 sqft in my instance) the time to switch between the too can be on the magnitude of minutes.

Using OpenStudio 1.7.0 (I will update shortly)
