> **Note:** **What is it about?**

> This page documents the **Cylinder node primitive** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It generates a parametric cylinder matching the classic primitive — a core mesh source for node setups.

This Node can be used to create a cylindrical shape and its settings reflect those of the Cylinder primitive.
