To select individual points in Meta, you need to control how Meta selects items.
1) Under the Command menu click the [Select] button. This selects individual items instead of using a rectangle [Rect] or an arbitrary shape [Rope] to select items.
2) If you only want to select points you can see, make sure to click the little button on the top line called [Fr]. This constrains selections to only visible ones so you do not select something behind what you are viewing.
3) Now, in the Edit Option menu, unclick [Ln] and [Fc] and only leave [Pt] selected. That constrains your selection to points only and will not select lines or faces.
4) Make sure the object you are working on is unlocked in the Object Property menu. Locked objects can not be edited.
5) Now click on one point, it should change color. Hold down the [Shift] key to select multiple points.
6) To join the points together, hold the [Ctrl] button and touch the [J] key to join them together.
Remember to use the undo key [Ctrl]-[Z] to undo any errors.
