Each node in a scene graph, including Shape3Ds, have capability bits that you can explicitly set/unset. By default, you can hardly do anything with a node once it is attached to a live scene graph, and this allows the renderer to perform lots of optimisations. Have a look at the capability bits defined for the nodes you want to alter, and just set the relevent ones. This will let you do whatever you want. Detaching and reconstructing the branch group is VERY expensive!

Is this correct or are there some quicker or easier ways? Thank you for help! C.
