Lan, The alternative is that you simply add your shape3d to your scene as normal, WITHOUT a transform group. You can still pick the shape3D and change its properties.
When you say "editable" geometry, I assume you meat translations and rotations. Please see previous emails where I discuss adding then removing TransformGroups temporarily, so that they are not around when they are not being used. If you meant actually modifying geometric information, then that is a feature that j3d gives you automatically. See the API documentation..
