# lossyScale

> Attempts to get a scale value from the matrix. (Read Only)

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public readonly Vector3 lossyScale { get; }
```

### Remarks

Scale can only be represented correctly by a 3x3 matrix instead of a 3 component vector, if the given matrix has been skewed for example. `lossyScale` is a convenience property which attempts to match the scale from the matrix as much as possible. If the given matrix is orthogonal, the value will be correct.
