I'm porting a simple animation program written in inventor (to
performer). I have a number of (heirarchical) .iv data files, and need
to selectively animate items in the files (identified with "DEF name
Separator { ... }".

The inventor loader appears to convert each "Separator {}" into a
pfGroup node. What I need is to have a DCS created which has as its
child the pfGroup node, so that I can individually animate the items
contained in "Separators {}".

Is there a type of inventor node that will result in a DCS being created
in the Performer scenegraph?

I'd like to avoid modifying the Inventor loader.

thanks
