Lan, I am not sure completely what your issues are. HOWEVER, if you would like to build a scene without transform groups, this is easy.
Simply change the coordinates of the geometry you are using, explicitly. This can be done many ways. One simple way is to build a transform3D and call .transform() on all the points in your geometry. There are some cases/restrictions when this is not allowed, but the idea should be clear. If you explicitly change the coordinates of your geometry, then you have no need for a TransformGroup.
