Hi Serge, Thanks for that piece of information. I am still not getting a "deep copy" of the nodes, however.
I did an experiment and I went to the top level node: osg::Node* subgraph = m_sceneView->getSceneData(); and I used this one for the deep copy osg::ref_ptr<osg::Node> copyA = static_cast<osg::Node *>(subgraph- >clone(osg::CopyOp::DEEP_COPY_ALL )); And now I get a few nodes in the new copy. My list now contains 3 items which makes sense because the tree is like: subgraph \ GroupA \ A / | \ B C D where A has 32 items. So there is stoppage at node A and no more copy or else there is a problem with the visitor. findNodeVisitor nv(FINDNODETYPE_NODETYPE| FINDNODETYPE_FINDALL,"Geode"); copyA->accept(nv); std::vector<osg::Node*> nodeList = nv.getNodeList(); int length = nodeList.size(); now length is 3 (but at this level it should be 35).
