3. Move the mouse pointer over the element that you want to tweak. When the
element highlights yellow, drag the mouse to apply the tool to the element.
You can tweak any type of object element — be it a point, edge or polygon — regardless of whether
you are working in point, edge or polygon mode. A selection is not required, since Tweak mode is
designed to tweak individual elements.
Some of the modeling tools do not work in Tweak mode.
N-gon Triangulation
CINEMA 4D internally triangulates n-gons when rendering or animating them. You can preview these
triangles directly in the viewport by enabling the N-gon Lines option in the viewport settings (Filter
page).
If N-gon Triangulation mode is enabled, an n-gon will be internally retriangulated each time you move
one of the n-gon’s points.
If the mode is disabled, you can retriangulate the n-gons manually by choose Functions > Retriangulate
N-gons.
Use Isoline Editing
If this option is enabled, all the elements of the HyperNURBS cage object — i.e. its points, edges and
polygons — will be projected onto the smoothed HyperNURBS object. This allows you to select these
elements directly on the smoothed object.
