> This page covers the **Polygon Selection tool** in **Cinema 4D**. It frames components with a clicked, n-sided outline — more precise than the lasso when straight selection borders around complex regions are needed.

This selection tool enables you to draw an n-sided shape to frame the elements that you want to select. The first click defines the starting point of the n-side and subsequent clicks define the n-side's corners. To complete the n-side, click the starting point or right-click on the selection.
