# Cylinder

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Cylinder Field node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It outputs a cylindrical falloff along the Y-axis with a soft transition at the hull — suited to column-shaped influence zones.

This Node can be used to create a cylindrical field that runs vertically along the Y axis. Contrary to the Box Field, a soft falloff function in the region of the cylindrical hull is integrated.
