the nodes to include in the topology:

Select Nodes to select the nodes in the map. When you finish selecting
nodes, press Enter.
■ To filter (restrict) node selection by layer (only the nodes that are on
specified layers will be selected), specify those layers in the Layers box.
To select from a list of layers in the map, click Select Layers. If the
layer is not listed, it may be Frozen, Locked, or Off. To use all layers,
enter an asterisk (*).
■ To use only selected blocks as node objects, specify those blocks in
the Blocks box. To use points as nodes, select the ACAD_POINT block.
■ To filter node selection by object class, specify those object classes in
the Object Classes box. Only nodes that belong to the specified object
classes will be included in the topology.
The layer, block, and object class filters apply to both automatic and
manual selection of nodes.
