    :param Vector3 axis: translation direction

.. function:: Object3D.translateX ( distance )

    Translates object along X-axis by distance

    :param float distance: distance

.. function:: Object3D.translateY ( distance )

    Translates object along Y-axis by distance

    :param float distance: distance

.. function:: Object3D.translateZ ( distance )

    Translates object along Z-axis by distance

    :param float distance: distance

    Rotates object to face point in space

    :param Vector3 vector: vector

.. function:: Object3D.add ( object )

    Adds child object to this object

    :param Object3D object: child
