# Geometry Collision

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Geometry Collision node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It tests two geometries for intersection — with tolerances and exact contact points — procedural collision checks without a simulation.

This function can be used to check two geometries for collision. Various calculation methods are available which, among other things, also allow the use of a tolerance or can calculate the exact points of contact of a collision.

In this example, a cube and a sphere are checked for collision. The touch surface of the cube is automatically colored red and a sphere, also red, is placed at the touch point between the objects.
