# Transform Geometry

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Transform Geometry node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D** (formerly Transform Element). It moves, rotates, scales or shears components relative to the bounding box or a pivot matrix — now optimized for arrays of matrices.

With this function you can move, rotate, scale or shear point positions, edges and polygons relative to the bounding box or a Pivot Matrix.\
In earlier Cinema 4D versions, this Node was called *Transform Element*. *Transform Geometry*, however, has now been optimized and reprogrammed from scratch in C++, making it orders of magnitude faster.
