# worldFront

The “forward” (-Z) direction vector relative to the node, expressed in world space.

## Declaration

```swift
var worldFront: SCNVector3 { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Reading this property is equivalent to reading the localFront class property and using the convertVector(_:to:) or convertVector(_:from:) method to convert that vector from the node’s local coordinate space to the scene’s world coordinate space.
