## Introduction

A given 3D vector is split into its components for X, Y and Z.

## Inputs

### Input

This 3D vector will be split into its components, which can then be accessed as an output at the node

## Outputs

### Out X

### Out Y

### Out Z

These are the three vector components, extracted from the input vector:

*Out X* = *Input*.x

*Out Y* = *Input*.y

*Out Z* = *Input*.z
