Point on outline

What is it about?

This page documents the Point on Outline node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It outputs positions along polygon borders or spline segments — for placing elements precisely on contours.

This Node can be used to output positions along a polygon's edge as well as positions along a spline segment.

This Node does not differentiate between a polygon's border edges, a line or a spline. In any case, positions and orientations can be calculated on these elements. In this example, a pyramid is moved along the edge of a plane. A value setting makes it possible to move the pyramid steplessly along the edges of the output polygon.
