# convertTransform(_:from:)

Converts a transform to the node’s local coordinate space from that of another node.

## Declaration

```swift
func convertTransform(_ transform: SCNMatrix4, from node: SCNNode?) -> SCNMatrix4
```

```swift
func convertTransform(_ transform: SCNMatrix4, from node: SCNNode?) -> SCNMatrix4
```

## Parameters

- `transform`: A transform relative to the local coordinate space defined by the other node.
- `node`: Another node in the same scene graph as the node, or nil to convert from the scene’s world coordinate space.

## Return Value

Return Value A transform relative to the node’s coordinate space.
