Geometry Axis

What is it about?

This page documents the newer Geometry Axis node (version 3) of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It repositions an object's axis within its bounding box like the Center Axis tool — and, used as a capsule, can move geometry while keeping the axis in place.

This node can reposition the axis of a geometry within its bounding box. The function can also be used in the same way as the classic Center Axis tool. When using this asset in the Object Manager under a basic object, the geometry can also be moved without repositioning its axis system at the same time.

The option to place the axis system individually makes it possible to place even randomly scaled objects on a plane, for example.
