Why do I have a vertex selection error?
Anyone else experienced this in 2018: I’m working on an editable poly, and after a bit, I can’t select some of the vertices in the model. The problem is most evident trying to select single verts; it’s like they aren’t even there – no highlight, no cursor change, no ability to select. Not select & move, not select & scale, not even just select.
How do I select vertices that are…?

Is there way to uncheck box select all?
Uncheck Limit selection to visible. If it’s checked, it won’t be possible to select vertices which aren’t pointed to the viewer (like in your case). If it isn’t checked, when selecting either with Box select or with RMB (doesn’t matter how) vertices on the other side of the mesh will be added to selection.
How to select vertices that are visible in Blender?
