# Vertex

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Vertex distribution node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It places matrices on geometry points — restrictable to selections and movable along normals — per-point placement for cloning setups.

This Node can be used to place matrices on the points of a give geometry. In addition, the matrices can be restricted to a point selection and moved along the point Normals.
