I do this all the time, usually by attaching a group to a DCS to a switch to the
scene, but you don't need the switch (I just like it to control which DCS's I
want to view). Here is a code fragment:

        if ((dcs_ref[i].model_geo = (pfGroup *)LoadFlt(s3)) == NULL)
        {
            fprintf(stderr,"problems loading multigen file %s\n",s3);
            pfExit();
            exit(-1);
        }
        printf("loaded file <%s>\n",s3);

/*
 We point a DCS to the models geometry.
 */
        dcs_file[dcsnum].dcs = pfNewDCS();
        pfAddChild(dcs_file[dcsnum].dcs, dcs_ref[i].model_geo);
        dcs_file[dcsnum].sw = pfNewSwitch();
/*
 * for now turn dcs switches on as default.
 */
        status = pfSwitchVal( dcs_file[dcsnum].sw, PFSWITCH_ON );
        pfAddChild(dcs_file[dcsnum].sw, dcs_file[dcsnum].dcs);
        pfAddChild(scene, dcs_file[dcsnum].sw);

Hope this helps,
Grambo
