A branch of my scene database looks like this,

pfGroup
/ | \
|
  pfSCS
|
|
  pfDCS
|
|
  pfGeode

how are the SCS and DCS applied to the geometry? I am trying to recreate this
myself using a couple pfMatrix to attach something to the pfGeode. I do this

    pfMatrix cableMat, tMat, ptMat;

            DCS[3]->getMat(tMat);
            // scale from inches to feet
            SCS[3]->getMat(cableMat);
            cableMat.preMult(tMat);
            ptMat.makeTrans(cableSpace[PF_X], cableSpace[PF_Y],
                                                cableSpace[PF_Z]);
            cableMat.preMult(ptMat);
            cablecoords[cab].fullXformPt(cablecoords[cab], cableMat);

The ptMat was added to move the attachment point to somewhere other then the
pfGeode's origin.

Thanks,

Brian
