> This page documents the **Lasso Selection** for hair guides in **Cinema 4D**. It selects guides or guide points by drawing a freehand outline — practical for grabbing irregular regions of a hairstyle before grooming operations.

The Lasso Selection tool lets you draw a freehand selection area. Selections can be expanded or reduced by simultaneously pressing the `Shift` or `Ctrl/Cmd` buttons, respectively.
