Measure to change wall material by facade

I am modeling a very big building, and I need to differentiate the materials of the north and south facade. I have yet calculated thermal bidges effect and I have defined two new constructions. Now, usually for the windows I use this measure to assign different W/W ratios for facades and then assign by hand the constructions. This is possible because the fenestrations created by the measures are very big and they are only 4 for each building store. This is not the case for wall surfaces, and the manual assignment process is time consuming (also because the computer takes ages to load after every surface box check click). Also, the chances I can missclick a surface or miss one are very high.

The question is then, does anybody have developed a measure able to assign constructions to external walls differentiating them by facade?

I have find this measure for windows.

Thanks
