Hi David,
so far it was clear to me that i have to hold down the left mouse button whilst
dragging the
mouse. But, what should i say? Am I too stupid? When i do the mentioned things,
nothing happens.
The encircled points remain red (no selection occured). The other way round
(everything is
selected) to deselect points work...
