\page grouping_elements_page Grouping elements
In Mesh module it is possible to create groups of mesh elements:
-nodes, edges, faces or volumes:
-<ul>
-<li> by selecting the elements of the specified kind by their IDs or
-directly on the presentation in the VTK viewer - <b>Standalone
-group</b> tab of \subpage creating_groups_page "Create group"
-dialog.</li>
-<li> by creating a group of elements of the selected type from all
-such elements of the chosen geometrical object - <b>Group on
-geometry</b> tab of \ref creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog.</li>
-
-<li> by creating a group including all types of elements from an
-existing geometrical object - using \subpage create_groups_from_geometry_page "Create Groups from Geometry" dialog.</li>
-
-<li> by creating several groups of elements (nodes,
-edges, faces and volumes) from the chosen submesh - using <b>Mesh -> Construct
-Group</b> Menu item. In this case groups of elements are created
-automatically.</li>
-
-<li> by creating groups of entities from existing groups of superior
-dimensions - using \subpage group_of_underlying_elements_page "Create Group of Underlying Elements"
-dialog.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
+nodes, edges, faces or volumes. One group contains elements of only
+one type. The following ways of creation are possible:
+
+- by selecting the elements using filters and/or directly on the
+ presentation in the VTK viewer, and/or by using elements of other
+ mesh objects - \ref standalone_group "Standalone group"
+ tab of \ref creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog.
+- by creating a group of elements generated on the chosen geometrical
+ object - \ref group_on_geom "Group on geometry" tab of
+ \subpage creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog and
+ \subpage create_groups_from_geometry_page "Create Groups from Geometry"
+ dialog.
+- by creating a group of elements satisfying to certain criteria -
+ \ref group_on_filter "Group on filter" tab of
+ \subpage creating_groups_page "Create group" dialog.
+- by creating groups of nodes and elements from the chosen submesh
+ (type of elements depends on dimension of submesh geometry) -
+ using <b>Mesh -> Construct Group</b> menu item (available in contextual
+ menu as well).
+- by creating groups of entities from existing groups of superior
+ dimensions - using \subpage group_of_underlying_elements_page
+ "Create Group of Underlying Elements" dialog.
The created groups can be later:
-<ul>
-<li>\subpage editing_groups_page "Edited"</li>
-<li>\subpage using_operations_on_groups_page "Subjected to Boolean operations", or</li>
-<li>\subpage deleting_groups_page "Deleted"</li>
-</ul>
+- \subpage editing_groups_page "Edited"
+- \subpage using_operations_on_groups_page "Subjected to Boolean operations"
+- \subpage deleting_groups_page "Deleted"
An important tool, providing filters for creation of \b Standalone
-groups is \subpage selection_filter_library_page</li>.
-
+groups is \ref selection_filter_library_page.
