Programmers on large projects often build or use out-of-the-box tools called profilers that measure performance in specific areas of the code. Based on the profiler reports, the engineers can see where the majority of processing time is being spent and then consider looking into optimizing the heaviest offenders.

However, if I create an EmptyNode under Canvus, it is created with the UITransform attached, so this error does not occur, and the problem is solved!
