<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <class name="Node3D" inherits="Node" version="4.0"> <brief_description> Most basic 3D game object, parent of all 3D-related nodes. </brief_description> <description> Most basic 3D game object, with a 3D [Transform3D] and visibility settings. All other 3D game objects inherit from Node3D. Use [Node3D] as a parent node to move, scale, rotate and show/hide children in a 3D project. Affine operations (rotate, scale, translate) happen in parent's local coordinate system, unless the [Node3D] object is set as top-level. Affine operations in this coordinate system correspond to direct affine operations on the [Node3D]'s transform. The word local below refers to this coordinate system. The coordinate system that is attached to the [Node3D] object itself is referred to as object-local coordinate system. [b]Note:[/b] Unless otherwise specified, all methods that have angle parameters must have angles specified as [i]radians[/i]. To convert degrees to radians, use [method @GlobalScope.deg2rad]. </description> <tutorials> <link title="Introduction to 3D">https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/3d/introduction_to_3d.html</link> <link title="All 3D Demos">https://github.com/godotengine/godot-demo-projects/tree/master/3d</link> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="add_gizmo"> <return type="void" /> <argument index="0" name="gizmo" type="Node3DGizmo" /> <description> Attach a gizmo to this [code]Node3D[/code]. </description> </method> <method name="clear_gizmos"> <return type="void" /> <description> Clear all gizmos attached to this [code]Node3D[/code]. </description> </method> <method name="clear_subgizmo_selection"> <return type="void" /> <description> Clears subgizmo selection for this node in the editor.

[b]Note:[/b] In the mathematical sense, rotation is a matrix and not a vector. The three Euler angles, which are the three independent parameters of the Euler-angle parametrization of the rotation matrix, are stored in a [Vector3] data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because [Vector3] exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers.
