3. With Points selection mode enabled, you can select points of the object. You can
do this in one of two ways. The first option is to click on any point directly to
select it, so click around the top of the lamp. Your point should become highlighted
as in Figure 1.65.
When you release the mouse button, you automatically enter Deselect mode.
Click on the point again, and it will be deselected. This is exactly how the
Polygons selection mode works.Now that there is nothing selected, you can
begin selecting points again. If you click on a point and then realize you want
to select more, just hold the Shift key down and continue your selection.

choice for selecting all of the points around the top of the lamp. Press the slash
key (/) to deselect the points.With the right mouse button held down, run your
mouse around the points of the top of the lamp, as in Figure 1.
