# Edge Break

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Edge Break node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It selects edges or polygons by the angle between adjacent faces — automatically finding hard edges for bevels, seams or shading splits.

This node can select edges or polygons based on their angle to adjacent faces.

This function allows the selection of edges or polygons where a given angle is exceeded. In this example, the outer edges of a tube were automatically selected and extruded.
