Hi,

Probably it is a very simple question but I have not found the answer on google or documentation.

Can I highlight (putting markers) some points in paraview?

I am post processing a room and I want to mark points where I took measurements

You can use PointSource to create a point desired position. Or you can use other sources (sphere, cone) to create other objects at desired positions.  
Or you can use ProgrammableSource to create a polydata with all your points.
