# Select  Facing

> **Note:** **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.
