The vertex reconstruction toolkit RAVE has been extended by an option for the inclusion of kinematic constraints, and embedded into the ILD analysis framework Marlin. The new tools have been tested with an exemplary reconstruction of WW and ZZ decays. The presented results show the improvements achieved in precision of the fitted masses, and demonstrate the usage and functionality of the toolkit.
