+
+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.
