<em>To add a node or an element to your mesh:</em>
<ol>
-<li>Select your mesh in the Object Browser or in the 3D viewer.</li>
-
-<li>From the \b Modification menu choose the \b Add item, the
-following associated submenu will appear:</li>

+ <li>From the \b Modification menu choose the \b Add item, the

+
+ \image html image152.png
+
+From this sub-menu select the type of element which you would like to add to your mesh.
+
+\note All dialogs for new node or element adding to the mesh provide
+the possibility to automatically add
+a node or element to the specified group or to create it anew using
+<b>Add to group</b> box, that allows choosing an existing group for
+the created node or element or giving the name to a new group. By
+default, the <b>Add to group</b> check box is switched off. If the user
+switches this check box on, the combo box listing all currently
+existing groups of the corresponding type becomes available. By
+default, no group is selected. In this case, when the user presses
+<b>Apply</b> or <b>Apply & Close</b> button, the warning message box
+informs the user about the necessity to input new group name. The
+combo box lists groups of all the
+\ref grouping_elements_page "three types": both
+\ref standalone_group "standalone groups",
+\ref group_on_filter "groups on filter", and
+\ref group_on_geom "groups on geometry". If the user chooses a
+group on geometry or on filter, he is warned and proposed to
+convert this group to standalone.
+If the user rejects conversion operation, it is cancelled and
+a new node/element is not created!
-From this submenu select the type of element which you would like to add to your mesh.

+\image html add0delement.png
+
+In this dialog box specify nodes which will form your 0D elements by

+<h2>Making 0D elements on Element Nodes</h2>
+
+There is another way to create 0D elements. It is possible to create
+0D elements on all nodes of the selected mesh, sub-mesh, or a group of elements or nodes.
+
+\image html dlg_0D_on_all_nodes.png
+
+In this dialog
+<ul>
+ <li> The radio-buttons allow choosing the type of object to create 0D elements on.
+ <ul>
+ <li><b> Mesh, sub-mesh, group </b> - this button allows selecting
+ a mesh, a sub-mesh or a group to create 0D elements on the nodes of its
+ elements. The name of the selected object is shown in the dialog. </li>
+ <li><b> Elements </b> - this button allows selecting elements in the
+ VTK viewer or typing their IDs in the dialog.</li>
+ <li><b> Nodes </b> - this button allows selecting nodes to create
+ 0D elements on in the VTK viewer or typing their IDs in the dialog.</li>
+ </ul></li>
+ <li><b> Set Filter </b> button allows selecting elements or nodes
+ by filtering mesh elements or nodes with different criteria
+ (see \ref filtering_elements "Filter usage").</li>
+ <li>Activate <b>Allow duplicate elements</b> to get several 0D
+ elements on a node. </li>
+ <li> Switching on <b>Add to group</b> check-box allows specifying the
+ name of the group to which all created or found (existing) 0D elements will
+ be added. You can either select an existing group from a drop-down
+ list, or enter the name of the group to be created. If a selected
+ existing \ref grouping_elements_page "group" is not Standalone
+ (Group On Geometry or Group On Filter) it will be converted to
