# Store Selection

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Store Selection node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It saves component selections under a name for later activation — the mechanism for passing selections through modeling chains.

With this function you can save a selection of points, edges or polygons under a given name. With an *Active Selection Node*, this selection can then be activated using the assigned name, e.g., to apply a modeling function only to this selection.

In this example, two polygons on a cube with a Store Selection Node are first saved under the name 'Sel'. An attached polygon bevel Node uses "Sel" at selection string and therefore restricts its function to this selection.
