# Align Normals

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Align Normals node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It orients surface normals uniformly like its Mesh-menu namesake — essential after constructing polygons procedurally.

This function orients the surface normal uniformly and represents the function of the same name in the Mesh menu. This function is especially helpful if you want to create polygons yourself.
