Purpose

The module SoBypass disconnects the attached Open Inventor subgraph from the scene.

The difference between this module and the SoToggle is that the SoToggle only disables rendering of the subgraph, while other messages still pass through it.

Details

This module may help to prevent unnecessary updates of Open Inventor scenes. The connection between input and output scene is set or unset using a Python script. Thus, the attached subgraph is fully disconnected from the scene.
