# Instantiate Object

## Overview

![The Instantiate Object Node.](/files/HJRlrNY17PiJrLylD73U)

The **Instantiate Object Node** can be used to copy an **Object**, including all its *children*, or a **Prefab**.

This **Node** requires a *parent* for the new, copied **Object**. Any **Object** placed in `Parent ID` will automatically be assigned as the *parent*. If the user wishes the copied **Object** to be on the first level in the **Scene** structure, the **Root Object** must be given.

To learn more about *children* and *parent* **Objects** in the **Scene** structure, as well as the **Root Object**, click [here.](/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/scene-objects.md#structure-in-a-scene)
