Abstract: The pinning down number $pd(X)$ of a topological space $X$ is the smallest cardinal $kappa$ such that for every neighborhood assignment $mathcalU$ on $X$ there is a set of size $kappa$ that meets every member of $mathcalU$. Clearly, $pd(X)led(X)$ and we call $X$ a pd-example if $pd(X)<d(X)$. We denote by $mathbfS$ the class of all singular cardinals that are not strong limit. It was proved in a paper of Juh'asz,Soukup and Szentmikl'ossy (arXiv:1506.00206}) that TFAE: (1) $mathbfSeemptyset$; (2) there is a 0-dimensional $T_2$ pd-example; (3) there is a $T_2$ pd-example. The aim of this paper is to produce pd-examples with further interesting topological properties like connectivity or being a topological group by presenting several constructions that transform given pd-examples into ones with these additional properties. We show that $mathbfSeemptyset$ is also equivalent to the existence of a connected and locally connected $T_3$ pd-example, as well as to the existence of an abelian $T_2$ topological group pd-example. However, $mathbfSeemptyset$ in itself is not sufficient to imply the existence of a connected $T_{3.5}$ pd-example. But if there is $muinmathbfS$ with $mugemathfrakc$ then there is an abelian $T_2$ topological group (hence $T_{3.5}$) pd-example which is also arcwise connected and locally arcwise connected. Finally, the same assumption $,mathbfSsetminusmathfrakceemptyset,$ even implies that there is a locally convex topological vector space pd-example.
