# Atom Array

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Atom Array node asset** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. Like the Atom Array object it places spheres on points and cylinders along edges — wireframe-style structures inside node setups.

This Node's function reflects for the most part that of the Array object. If a shape or geometry is linked, spheres can be placed on their points and cylinders along their edges. Note that only the points’ local coordinates can be evaluated. The shape of the Atom Array must also be moved, scaled or rotated accordingly, if necessary, to make it congruent with the input geometry.

An Atom Array can be used to generate colored spheres and cylinders on points and along edges or lines, respectively, of a given geometry.
