> This page covers the **Scrape brush** for sculpting in **Cinema 4D**. It removes peaks by lowering vertices toward the average surface height — the counterpart to the Fill brush, used like a rasp to plane down raised detail.

The **Scrape** tool works similarly to the **Fill** brush, only that it scrapes off peaks and pinnacles instead of filling concave regions. In doing so, an average height beneath the brush is calculated and the mesh vertices lowered accordingly.

An overview of all available brushes can be found here: [Brushes](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/49929.html.md).
