Straighten Edges

What is it about?

This page covers the Straighten Edges node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It aligns points of an edge-loop section onto a straight line between its endpoints — procedural cleanup for wavy topology.

Selected points or edges that lie on a common Edge Loop can be straightened using this function. A straight line will be drawn between the first and last point of a selected Edge Loop section. Selected elements will be oriented to this line.


On the left is the original geometry with selected points. Set Edges Linear was applied in the center. The selected points are placed on a line between the end points of the selection. On the right, Even Spacing was also enabled.
