Nordmesh / Brand new model tools for Cinema 4D

Six tools that will change the way you model.

Inspired by SketchUp, Nordmesh brings its click‑to‑build modeling flow natively into Cinema 4D. Draw a shape, push it into a solid, then offset, rotate and measure it, all right in the viewport. No menus, no modifiers, no Booleans to clean up afterward.

The toolkit

Six tools, one sketching flow.

Scroll through each one and the demo on the right follows along. Scroll through each one to watch it work.

01 / Draw

Click. Click. It's a face.

A click‑click polyline that closes into a filled N‑gon and knifes straight into the face you drew on. Lengths, axis locks and unit-aware numeric input come standard.

Nordmesh Pen

02 / Draw

Snaps to the face you mean.

Two clicks for an axis-aligned rectangle. The first click picks the face under your cursor and auto-locks to its plane, or type W;D for an exact size.

Nordmesh Rectangle

03 / Shape

Push the face. Watch it solidify.

Click a face and slide it to extrude into a watertight solid, pop a panel off a flat surface, or resize a protrusion. It snaps to anything in the scene so faces line up with remote corners.

Nordmesh Push

04 / Shape

A protractor for your whole model.

Set a pivot, then turn. A live protractor with 15° ticks tracks the mouse and the real geometry rotates with it, no ghost preview. Type an exact angle and hit Enter.

Nordmesh Rotate

05 / Shape

Inset and outset, the right way.

Click a face, drag in for an inset or out for an outset. The math handles convex and reflex corners, and clamps the inset before any edge can cross itself.

Nordmesh Offset

06 / Measure

A tape measure that leaves snap points.

Two clicks drop a labelled guide line. Native vertex snap targets its endpoints, so every other tool, whether Nordmesh or stock Cinema 4D, can snap to it for free.

What you're seeing · Pen

Each click drops a point; clicking the first point closes the loop. Nordmesh fills it as one N-gon and knifes it straight into the face below, with no Booleans and no cleanup.

What you're seeing · Rectangle

The first click picks the face under the cursor and locks to its plane; the second sets the far corner. Type 200;120 and it lands an exact 200 × 120 panel.

What you're seeing · Push

Click the top face and slide it up. Open edges seal into a watertight solid, and hovering a nearby corner snaps the face level with it.

What you're seeing · Rotate

Click once for the pivot, then swing. The protractor snaps in 15° steps and the real mesh turns with the cursor; type 45 to set the angle precisely.

What you're seeing · Offset

Click the face and drag inward. Every edge insets in parallel, corners stay sharp, and the inset stops itself before any edge can cross.

What you're seeing · Measure

Two clicks lay down a measured guide line. Its endpoints become live snap targets that every other Nordmesh tool can lock onto.

Questions, answered.

Is Nordmesh really like SketchUp? +

The interaction model is: pure click-move-click, no drag loops, numeric input with units, axis locks, and inference snapping. It just runs natively inside Cinema 4D on your real geometry.

Which Cinema 4D versions are supported? +

Cinema 4D 2025 and 2026, on macOS and Windows. Each release ships as a single plugin with all six tools.

Do the tools work on existing meshes? +

Yes. Pen and Rectangle knife into the face you click; Push, Offset and Rotate act on geometry that is already there. Measure leaves snap anchors anything can use.

Can I type exact dimensions? +

Everywhere it makes sense. Lengths accept units and imperial compounds (3'6\"), Rectangle takes W;D, Rotate takes an exact angle, Push takes an exact distance.
