# GetWorldPositionAndRotation(out float3, out quaternion)

> Gets the world-space position and rotation.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [Unity.Entities](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/entities.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.EntitiesModule

## GetWorldPositionAndRotation(float3, quaternion)

```csharp
public void GetWorldPositionAndRotation(out float3 position, out quaternion rotation)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[float3]\(/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/mathematics/float3)): The world-space position will be stored here**** (\[quaternion]\(/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/mathematics/quaternion)): The world-space rotation will be stored here

### Remarks

This operation is significantly more expensive than the local-space equivalent. Its execution time is proporitional to the depth of this object in its transform hierarchy. Only use it when the call site specifically needs world-space transform data for objects that may be in a hierarchy.

The world-space scale can only be computed approximately in the general case; see GetWorldLossyScale.
