Selections

If all cut edges of the result are to be saved in an Edge Selection tag, activate this option.

Some functionalities in Cinema 4D use Selection tags to limit their effect to these selections. The Selection tag is added to the Boolean generator and displayed there.

Example

Activate this option to create a Selection tag called - by default - "I". Type in this "I" e.g., at (Selection) of the e.g., Bevel deformer. It will then only bevel the Boolean cut edges and leave the other edges unchanged.

You can enter any letters or even names here to name the selection.

Please note that Boolean tags also have this option (and also polygon selections!): these then have priority over the tags that can be set here and are omitted. Or in other words: selections defined in the Boolean tag do not appear here as defined by the generator option.
