<h2>Making 0D elements on Element Nodes</h2>
There is another dialog which lets you create 0D elements. It creates
0D elements on all nodes of selected elements or nodes, where no 0D
elements are yet present.

In this dialog
<ul>
<li> Click a radio-button to choose a type of object on whose nodes you
want to create 0D elements.
<ul>
<li><b> Mesh, sub-mesh, group </b> This button allows you selecting either
a mesh, sub-mesh or group to create 0D elements on nodes of their
elements. A name of selected object is shown in the dialog. </li>
<li><b> Elements </b> This button allows you selecting elements either in the
VTK viewer or typing their IDs in a field of dialog.</li>
<li><b> Nodes </b> This button allows you selecting nodes to create
0D elements on them either in the VTK viewer or typing their IDs
in a field of dialog.</li>
</ul></li>
<li><b> Set Filter </b> button allows you selecting elements or nodes
by filtering elements or nodes of the mesh with different criteria
(see \ref filtering_elements "Filter usage" on how to set up selection
criteria).</li>
<li> Switching on <b>Add to group</b> check-box allows you specifying a
name of a group to add all 0D element created or found on the
selected element nodes. You can either select an existing group from
a drop-down list, or enter a name of a group to create.</li>
