# Melt

> **Note:** **What is it about?**

> This page documents the **Melt node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It merges selected elements into an n-gon like the Melt command — simplifying topology, with unneeded points removed along the way.

This Node's functionality reflects that of the [Melt](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5673.html.md) modeling function in the Mesh menu and can be used to combine selected elements in an N-Gon. Note that points on the geometry can end up being deleted if these are not needed after melting.

After selecting several polygons on a sphere, these can be reduced to an N-Gon using the Meld Node and flattened at the top pole, as in this example.
