Picking points in order to create a point group in Civil 3D 2007
Whenever I create a new point group, I have to pick one point at a time. The reason being is as follows: If I wanted to pick multiple clusters of points by windowing around points in one area, then more in another, it would be impossible to determine which points have been chosen due to the fact that when I make that first window around the first cluster of points, ALL the points become highlighted. This is assuming I have included the actual marker (node) in the window. If I window around only the labels of more than one point, only one point becomes highlighted. I am fairly new to the Civil 3D package so I'm not sure if there is a setting to be changed or if it's a bug in the software. Maybe there is a patch to download. Anybody have any suggestions?

Well if you know what points you want to add to the group you can just type then into the query (i.e. 1-6,20-30,45,100). You also can do an exclude in the same manner, so there are way to get aroundit if you know what you are actually trying to select.

If you change the point style for your new group you will be able to visually see a difference on the screen. That way you will now which points have been added to the group.
You don't need to worry about selecting the same point more than once.
