# Scale

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

> This page documents the **Scale node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It multiplies values with a float factor regardless of data type — unlike Arithmetic's type-bound multiplication, ideal for uniform strength control.

This Node can be used to multiply values with one another. This is different from the Arithmetic Node and its Multiply function where the selected data type is always used for both value inputs. The Scale Node always uses the Float data type for the second input.
