Hi Den, 
 There are other ways, but I will suggest the one I am typically using. You can follow the below steps (see also image for reference): 
 
 From the Select multiple objects tool > Select point s. Then draw a window around the points of the embedded beams. 
 From the Selection explorer pane, right-click on the Selection object and click on Selection (first option). This will copy the list of objects (points) that you have previously selected. 
 Type the echo command and then paste the list after that [e.g. echo (Point_1 Point_2 Point_3 Point_4 Point_5 Point_6 Point_7 Point_8)] 
 
 You will get a list of coordinates for each point included in that list.
