Normal Scale

What is it about?

This page describes the Normal Scale tool in Cinema 4D. It scales selected polygons perpendicular to their normals, each face in its own plane — useful for shrinking or growing face groups evenly across curved geometry.

This tool is available in polygon mode only.

Use this tool to scale selected polygons perpendicular to their Normals. Use this tool interactively by dragging left or right within the Viewport. You can also drive the tool with numeric input.
