# vectorModelToWorldVisual

*Command · Math - Vectors, Render Time Scope · Arma 3 v1.72*

## Description

Converts vector from model to world space in render time scope.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> For [scaled objects](../commands/setObjectScale.md), the resulting vector's [magnitude](../commands/vectorMagnitude.md) will also be [multiplied](../commands/vectorMultiply.md) by the object scale.

## Syntax

```sqf
object vectorModelToWorldVisual modelDir
```

**Parameters:**

- `object`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)
- `modelDir`: [Vector3D](../topics/Vector3D.md) - vector direction in model space in format [x,y,z]

**Returns:** [Vector3D](../topics/Vector3D.md) - vector direction in world space in format [x,y,z]

## Examples

### Example 1

Convert model space vector [0,-10,4] to world space; vector gets rotated according to _airplane:

```sqf
_airplane vectorModelToWorldVisual [0,-10,4];
```
