# Polygon

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Polygon node primitive** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It creates single triangles or quads with optional subdivision — the smallest building block for constructed meshes.

Here you can create a polygon with either three or four corner points. In addition, the shape can be subdivided for more detail. This functionality reflects that of the Polygon primitive in Cinema 4D.
