Nodes, you should also know when using XFile (EX9.Geometry Load)

use

• GetSlice (Node) to access subsets

• VertexDeclaration (EX9.Geometry Mesh) to get info about normals, texcoords, of your mesh
• BoundingBox (EX9.Geometry Mesh) to get info about size and position of your mesh. may be your camera looks the wrong direction.
• Change (EX9.Geometry Mesh) to check if your mesh has changed
• Count (EX9.Geometry Mesh) to get info about the counts of subsets, faces and vertices
• ViewFrustumCulling (EX9.Geometry Mesh) to check if your mesh lies in viewing frustum (is visible in the renderer)

• Optimize (EX9.Geometry Mesh)
• Normals (EX9.Geometry Mesh) to create normals if missing.

• Mesh (EX9.Geometry Split)
• VertexBuffer (EX9.Geometry Split) to access indices, vertices, normals, ...everything as large spreads of values
