# Twist Object

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Twist deformer** in **Cinema 4D**. It rotates geometry progressively around its Y-axis with an interactive handle — for drills, twisted columns, licorice shapes and screwing animations.

The rotate object is used to rotate objects around the Y-axis of the Twist object. It has an orange-colored handle on the top. This handle can be used to control the Twist object interactively in the editor.

> **Tip:** Note Themore you twist an object, the more subdivisions the twisted object needs.
