# Box Step

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Box Step node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It maps an input to 0–1 relative to two edge values — the linear step function for thresholds and soft transitions.

This Node outputs a percentage Result between 0 and 1, which defines the position of an input value relative to both the Edge 1 and Edge 2 values. If the input value is larger than the Edge 1 and Edge 2 values, 1 will always be output. If the value is smaller than the Edge 1 and Edge 2 values, 0 will be output.
