> This page documents the **Thicken node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It turns single-sided surfaces into closed volumes with wall thickness — the Thickness generator's function as a modeling node.

The function of this Node largely corresponds to that of the [Thickness generator](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OSOLIDIFYGENERATOR.html.md) and can be used to create closed volumes or extruded shapes from single-sided polygon geometries. The following series of images shows the various Node options using the example of a level.

The original plane can be seen on the left. The geometries to the right represent the different variants that can be created with the Thickness Node from the plane.
