# Transformation

All **Objects** in **Incari** exist in *3D* space, and have a set of **Attributes** to define their **Transformation** data. **Transformation** is divided into three **Vector3** type **Attributes**: `Position`, `Rotation`, and `Scale`.

## Position

`Position` is defined by three values, representing each of the three axes of a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.

In most *2D* graphics applications, you will typically see a coordinate system with the origin (0,0) at the top-left corner of a document, and the X value increasing from left-to-right and the Y value increasing from top-to-bottom.

In **Incari**, coordinates are in 3D Euclidean space, with the origin (0, 0, 0) at the center, and the `x` value increasing from center-to-right, the `y` value increasing from center-to-top and the `z` value increasing from center-to-front.

Any point in space can be determined by these `x`, `y`, and `z` values.

## Rotation

The `Rotation` **Attribute** represents the Euler angle of rotation of an **Object** along each of its axes. The **Object** is rotated in *local space*, meaning that any adjustments will be made along its *own* axes, not the axes of the **Scene** itself. Axes can be thought of as being like three skewers, going through the **Object** and intersecting at the **Object's** **Pivot Point**.

## Scale

`Scale` multiplies the size of an **Object** along its axes, relative to its **Origin**. By default, `Scale` is set to 1, 1, 1, meaning that it is at 100% of its size on all axes.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2021.4/getting-started/attributes/common-attributes/transformation.md?ask=<question>
