Blender has a nice solution to the problem of clicking/selecting small nodes.

If you press "c" it turns the mouse pointer into a circle. You can adjust the size of this circle with the mouse-wheel, and just paint over the nodes you want to select with it. press escape when done to exit the selection mode. though we could just as easily use the enter key which may be more intuitive.

Ok, thanks Luca.

Fyi to everyone, Olof is helping make a better and more clear presentation
of the situation and request.  Just take me a little time to learn how to
make a video (which I should have done years ago).

Thanks again,
brynn

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
