Select Facing

What is it about?

This page covers the newer Select Facing node (version 2) of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It selects polygons by normal direction with tolerance controls — a revised edition of the direction-based selection asset.

This function enables the automatic selection of polygons whose normals point in a specified direction. Tolerances can also be specified.

This node can automatically select areas with a specific orientation, allowing you to assign objects only to the steeper mountain slopes, for example.
