Selecting points in polygon issue

I have a LAS file that I'm trying to classify. I select all polygons (from my topo layer) that are buildings, I then right click on one of these and right click>Advanced Selection Options>Select all points features within the selected area(s) but only the points within the right clicked polygon get selected! I would have thought that all points within all the selected areas (not just the one that was right clicked) would have been selected.

Can anyone help?

    Kent,

    The select points in areas is working for my test data in versions 15.2 and v16.0. What version of GM are you using? Would it be possible to send us a copy of the data you are using (geohelp@bluemarblegeo.com)?

    Hi Peter,

    I'm on v16.0 build 091714. Unfortunately, the data I am using is Ordnance Survey so their license restrictions prevent me from passing it over to you!
    I'll try with some similar data and report back.

    Just to finish this post: I tried this with some other data and it worked OK. Turns out that there were some topological errors in the original data which must have confused GM.
