# Polygon Center

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Polygon Center distribution node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It outputs positions at polygon centers with optional orientation control — per-face placement for clones and instances.

This Node can be used to ascertain positions at the center of polygons with a geometry and can optionally also affect the orientation of the generated matrices.
