Use the "Extract Parts" filter (in the Filter menu) to separate out the 
various parts of your multi-part data set.

To see your points as spheres, you can apply a glyph filter to your data 
set and set the Glyph to Sphere0 (from the menu below the Accept button on 
the Parameters page for the Glyph filter).
