# Points info

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Points Info node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It reads point normals, positions, indices, colors, weights and selections — the standard source of per-point data in node setups.

This Node can be used to read the directions of the normals and the positions of the points on a geometry. In addition, point and polygon indices, colors, weightings and selections can also be read out, for example. If instead you want to read e.g., polygon selections, polygon normals or the centers of the polygons, use the closely related [Polygon Info Node](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/NET_MAXON_NEUTRON_GEOMETRY_GETPOLYGONSELECTIONDATA.html.md) for that.
