Node

A   node is a generic entity representing any object that is presented in the world and specifically positioned and oriented. The node is created and stored in the world. All changes made to the node are saved in the .world file. You can also export the node into an external .node file and then import it into the world when necessary or create a reference to it. However, all changes made for the original node via UnigineEditor will still be saved into the .world file.
