Grow Selection

What is it about?

This page documents the Grow Selection node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It expands an active selection to adjacent elements like the Select-menu command — step-by-step enlargement in procedural chains.

This function corresponds to the classic zooming in on an active selection, and is also available via the Select menu. This means that elements directly adjacent to an existing, active selection will also be selected, which leads to an enlargement of the selected areas on the geometry.
The inverse of this function can be found at the Shrink Selection Node. This can then be used to shrink a selection from the edge.
