Meshing Toolbox Selection Issues

I have encountered an odd issue while doing geometry prep using some of the cleanup and editing features in the meshing toolbox. Part way through creating my model I suddenly cannot select anything when using options from the Feature Removal or Geometry Editing sections. For example I want to remove holes and replace them with Mesh Points. In the Feature Removal Section I have the feature type selected, I have the selection mode chosen (see attached screenshot), but in the model window nothing is selectable. The same thing happens when I try something like Point to Edge or add Washer in the Geometry Editing section.

This issue is not specific to a single geometry body, but seems contained only to surfaces/bodies I have made (such as from Geometry>Midsurface>Automatic operation). I had no issues doing this earlier within this same modfem however. I am not sure what changed. I tried restarting FEMAP, rebooting my PC, and checking that all layers and groups were visible. Any other suggestions of things to check?

Dear Roger,
Post your model and I can take a look to it, no problem.
I don't have problems to select geometry (points or curves), make sure to issue the REGENERATE command (Ctrl+G)after performing any geometry idealization, some points remain in the screen and not possible to select, but are deleted, simply regenerating the screens the points disappear!!.

Please post your FEMAP model here and we can take a look to it, and we can discover the problem, OK?.

Best regards,
Blas.
