Edge Selection Tag

What is it about?

This page documents the Edge Selection tag in Cinema 4D. It permanently stores an edge selection on a polygon object so materials, deformers or tools can be restricted to exactly these edges; a special variant also stores UV seam selections.

To access commands for a Selection Tag, select the tag in the Object Manager. The commands appear in the Attribute Manager.

Double-clicking on the tag will switch to the respective element mode and will select the saved element.

Seam Selection Tag

A special version of this tag type is also used to store Seams Selections for UV editing. The Seams Selection Tag is created automatically when selecting edges as seams with the Seam Selection Tool.
