Purpose

The group node SoTransformSeparator is similar to the SoSeparator node in that it saves state before traversing its children and restores it afterward. However, it only saves the current transformation; all other state remains unchanged.

This node can be useful for positioning a camera, as the transformations applied to the camera will not affect the rest of the scene, even though the camera will view the scene. Similarly, this node can isolate transformations for light sources or other objects.
