# Lathe Line

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Lathe Line node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It revolves spline curves around the Y-axis like the Lathe object — rotationally symmetric shapes such as vases and glasses, built in nodes.

This Node's functionality reflects that of the [Lathe](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OLATHE.html.md) object and can be used to rotate a spline curve around the local Y axis. Polygons will be generated that can replicate rotationally symmetrical shapes such as vases, glasses or bottles.

Like polygons, lines can be created from points that are linked with a topology. This information can be linked with a Geometry Property Set Node and passed through a Spline Tessellation Node to a Lathe Line Node.
