The default position of the ViewPlatform is at (0, 0, 0). If you want to see the loaded model in the center, there are two options: move the ViewPlatform or move the scene. From the point of view of the rendering engine, there's no difference. Just remember, moving the view platform is just the inverse of moving the scene.
So, I'll suggest to use a transform where you scale it down 1/10000 *and* move the scene so that it will have the center somewhere around 0, 0, -1.

I checked the location of the ViewPlatform, I think, ( Transform3D.get(Vector3f) of the parent TransformGroup ) and it's far a way from the accumulated BoundingBox of the model. So if there is a way to compute what's in the view of the ViewPlatform, mabey I can move it there..
