Hi,

I’m trying to get indices of selected points.  
The problem is that when there are multiple displayed meshes then the selection may contain several `vtkSelectionNode` objects.

But I cant understand which `selectionNode` corresponds to which mesh.  
I actually need to make the selection only for only one mesh.

Maybe I can set some property to some actors to disable being selected?
