Yup, what Greg said. It was to model without creating a modeling stack because at the time, it was slowing down a bit. ;)

This feature was added to auto freeze as you modeled. Child compensation was added to get so you could move a parent node with out effecting the children . My recollection On Monday, December 14, 2015, Matt Lind <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: "Immediate" mode made it's appearance in XSI v3.0 so the Maya users would stop complaining about children not moving with the parent. The default Softimage behavior was for the children to move only when selected in branch mode.

I distinctly remember that feature being added to XSI at some point, like v2 or v3, it wasn't there from the start, that's for sure. Such an odd thing to be in an early mockup only to surface years later as an actual feature, isn't it? No Freeze button either which is also weird if Sumatra was non-linear from the start.
