Create Hierarchies for a Bunch of Objects in C4D All at Once

Maxon’s Jonas Pilz Shares a Tip for C4D R19 for Instantly Creating Object Hierarchies That Will Save You Some Time

Creating hierarchies for objects in Cinema 4D is necessary, and it’s actually simple to do. What if you wanted to set a lot of object hierarchies? Let’s say you had a lot of splines in the scene that you wanted to sweep. Repeating the process over and over again for hundreds of splines would take some time.

Jonas Pilz shows a better way with a little trick that works in C4D R19. You can instantly create parent/child relationships for multiple objects by just holding down a modifier key on the keyboard. It is the small workflow improvements like this that have a significant impact on the later releases of Cinema 4D for its users.
