This tool adds the selected objects to the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft Construction group]].
The [[Image:Draft_AddConstruction.svg|24px]] '''Draft AddConstruction''' command moves objects to the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft construction group]]. It also applies the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode#Preferences|construction geometry color]] to the objects.

It's also possible to add objects using {{Button|[[Image:Draft_AddToGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_AddToGroup|Draft AddToGroup]]}} to a {{Button|[[Image:Std_Group.svg|16px]] [[Std_Group|Std Group]]}}.
