# modelToWorldVisual

*Command · Object Manipulation, Render Time Scope · Arma 3 v1.32*

## Description

Converts position from object model space to world space in render time scope. For ASL version see [modelToWorldVisualWorld](../commands/modelToWorldVisualWorld.md).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> For [scaled objects](../commands/setObjectScale.md), the relative position will first be [multiplied](../commands/vectorMultiply.md) by the object scale.
>
> For example, if the object scale is 2, `_obj modelToWorldVisual [0,1,0]` will be offset **2 meters** from the model center (`[0,0,0]`).

## Syntax

```sqf
object modelToWorldVisual modelPos
```

**Parameters:**

- `object`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)
- `modelPos`: [Array](../topics/Array.md) - in format [PositionRelative](../topics/Position.md#positionrelative) ([x,y,z] offset relative to the model centre)

**Returns:** [PositionAGL](../topics/Position.md#positionagl) - world position
