Dissolve

What is it about?

This page covers the Dissolve node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It deletes selected components while automatically cleaning up superfluous points — ideal for removing edges without leaving topology clutter.

Use this Node to delete selected points, edges or polygons. This command works similar to the Melt command, the difference being, that unnecessary points will also be deleted automatically. This command is also ideal for deleting edges that are no longer needed. When in Point or Polygon mode, Dissolve functions exactly like the Melt command.

Here three vertical edges at the front of the cube have been dissolved.
