# Transform > Position, rotation and scale of an object. ## Definition * **Type:** Class * **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md) * **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule * **Inherits from:** [Component](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/component.md) * **Implements:** [IEnumerable](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.ienumerable) ```csharp public class Transform : Component, IEnumerable ``` ## Remarks Every object in a Scene has a Transform. It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every Transform can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. They also support enumerators so you can loop through children using: ```csharp using UnityEngine; public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Moves all transform children 10 units upwards! void Start() { foreach (Transform child in transform) { child.position += Vector3.up * 10.0f; } } } ``` Additional Resources: [The component reference](/engine/6000.7/manual/working-with-gameobjects/gameobject-fundamentals/class-transform.md), [Physics](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/physics.md) class. ## Properties | Property | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [childCount](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transform/childcount.md) | The number of children the parent Transform has. | | [eulerAngles](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transform/eulerangles.md) | The rotation as Euler angles in degrees. | | [forward](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transform/forward.md) | Returns a normalized vector representing the blue axis of the transform in world space. | | [hasChanged](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transform/haschanged.md) | Has the transform changed since the last time the flag was set to 'false'?
