# TransformHandle > Position, rotation and scale of an object. ## Definition * **Type:** Struct * **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md) * **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule * **Implements:** [IEquatable\](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.iequatable-1), [IComparable\](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.icomparable-1) ```csharp public struct TransformHandle : IEquatable, IComparable ``` ## Remarks Every object in a Scene has a TransformHandle. It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every TransformHandle can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. ## Properties | Property | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [childCount](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/childcount.md) | The number of children the parent TransformHandle has. | | [DirectChildren](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/directchildren.md) | An enumerable representing the direct children of this transform handle. | | [eulerAngles](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/eulerangles.md) | The rotation as Euler angles in degrees. | | [forward](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/forward.md) | Returns a normalized vector representing the blue axis of the transform in world space. | | [hierarchyCapacity](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/hierarchycapacity.md) | The transform capacity of the transform's hierarchy data structure. | | [hierarchyCount](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/hierarchycount.md) | The number of transforms in the transform's hierarchy data structure. | | [localEulerAngles](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/localeulerangles.md) | The rotation as Euler angles in degrees relative to the parent transform's rotation. | | [localPosition](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/localposition.md) | Position of the transform relative to the parent transform. | | [localRotation](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/localrotation.md) | The rotation of the transform relative to the transform rotation of the parent. | | [localScale](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/localscale.md) | The scale of the transform relative to the GameObjects parent. | | [localToWorldMatrix](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/localtoworldmatrix.md) | Matrix that transforms a point from local space into world space (Read Only). | | [lossyScale](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/lossyscale.md) | The global scale of the object (Read Only). | | [parent](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/parent.md) | The parent of the transform. | | [position](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/position.md) | The world space position of the Transform. | | [right](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/right.md) | The red axis of the transform in world space. | | [root](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/root.md) | Returns the topmost transform in the hierarchy. | | [rotation](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/rotation.md) | A [Quaternion](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/quaternion.md) that stores the rotation of the Transform in world space. | | [Subhierarchy](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/transformhandle/subhierarchy.md) | An enumerable representing this TransformHandle instance and all of its descendants.
