# Shrink selection

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Shrink Selection node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It contracts an active selection from its border inward — the counterpart of Grow Selection.

This function is the counterpart of the [Grow Selection Node](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/NET_MAXON_NEUTRON_MODELING_SELECTION_GROWSELECTION.html.md) and gradually shrinks a seleciton from the edge.
