I don't think We are talking about the same thing. I see how to highlight a 
point on my mesh (which is what I think you mean by saying "Use the select 
point(s) inside a polygon filter." Maybe I don't know what you mean by "polygon 
filter."

Can you show me a picture of what you mean?  I will follow up with a mock-up of 
what I am asking for.
