I have a 3D model that contains 3 geometries, as highlighted below

This is my code that create such SCNNode from a USDZ file:

  private func readGeo(fn: String) -> SCNNode {
    let bundle = Bundle.main
    let url = bundle.url(forResource: fn, withExtension: nil)!
    let asset = MDLAsset(url: url)
    asset.loadTextures()
    let object = asset.object(at: 0)
    let node = SCNNode(mdlObject: object)
    return node
  }

Then I need to flatten the node, since I want to make it just a single geometry, so that it’s easier to attach a physics body. So I changed the return to:

return node.flattenedClone()

The position of geometries seems to be incorrect, as you can see below: (see the cover is sticking out)

Edit:

I realize that the position of the sub nodes are changed after flatten. They are originally at non-zero coordinate, but after flatten, they are positioned as if they are at zero coordinate. I don’t know why
