# Radial Clone Tool

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Radial Clone tool** in **Cinema 4D**. Dragging in the viewport arranges clones of the active object in a circle via an automatically created Cloner — the quick way to radial arrangements like spokes or petals.

The three clone tools can be used to interactively clone an active object. Simply click in the editor view and drag the outer edge of the clone arrangement. This can be repeated several times (each time a

[Cloner](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OMOGRAPH_CLONER.html.md) will be created with either the initially active Cloner or, if preferred, an [instanced object](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OMOGRAPH_INSTANCE.html.md) as a child object).

If several objects happen to be active, all will be cloned in the **Iterate** mode (see [Linear mode](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OMOGRAPH_CLONER-ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES.html.md)). After having cloned an object interactively, the tool will continue to be active and several settings can be subsequently fine-tuned.
