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..
