[osg-users] Choice of body-specific coordinate system origin by dae (COLLADA) reader

Hello, osg-users! I have a question regarding the choice of the body-specific coordinate system made by the COLLADA reader (daeReader/Writer in osgDB). When I import a geometry from a COLLADA document, the osgDB plugin returns a osg::Group that contains the nodes declared in the COLLADA
