# Restriction Tag

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Restriction tag** in **Cinema 4D**. It limits a deformer's effect to up to twelve stored point selections or vertex maps, each with its own strength — enabling precise, weighted control over where deformations act.

> **Tip:** Tip:Similar but more powerful functionality is available from the [Fields](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/58091.html.md), that can work with most Deformers in their Fields tab.

You can use this tag to restrict a [Deformer's](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5460.html.md) effect to a selection of points. You can enter up to twelve selections for the tag and define the strength of the deformation in each case. See [Freeze Deformation](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5460.html.md) or [Save Selection](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5907.html.md) for additional information.
