public method TransformDirection(direction: Vector3): Vector3;
public Vector3 TransformDirection(Vector3 direction);

Description

Transforms direction from local space to world space.

This operation is not affected by scale or position of the transform. The returned vector has the same length as direction.

You should use Transform.TransformPoint for the conversion if the vector represents a position rather than a direction.
