# simdConvertPosition(_:from:)

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

## Declaration

```swift
func simdConvertPosition(_ position: simd_float3, from node: SCNNode?) -> simd_float3
```

## Parameters

- `position`: A position in 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 position in the node’s local coordinate space.
