# Adding nodes graphically
Nodes may be created one at a time using the Add nodes sculpt tool, or a number of nodes can be created at once using the Sculpt > Add nodes menu command. The procedure is as follows.
- The attributes assigned to new nodes are taken from the data defaults as set in the Property pane.
 - Switch the construction grid on.
 - Adjust the construction grid such that grid points occur at desired nodal positions.
 - Set the cursor mode to Select grid points.
 - Select grid points where new nodes are required.
 - Give the Add nodes command.
