Symmetry

Discover how to use the Symmetry generator in Cinema 4D to automatically mirror geometry across an axis, streamlining your modeling workflow and ensuring perfect balance in your designs.

Symmetry in Cinema 4D is a non-destructive generator that creates a mirrored copy of your object along a chosen axis (X, Y, or Z). It keeps the original mesh editable and updates the mirrored side in real-time as you make changes, saving time and effort by letting you model only half of an object. With controls for the mirror plane and vertex merge distance, it’s ideal for modeling characters, architectural elements, or any design requiring precise symmetry and balance.
