Just testing to see if you were paying attention.  Be aware I may test you 
again without warning.


I was commenting on child compensation feature apparently.

I thought it was for freezing operators automaticity , Xsi would get clunky
real fast with a few modeling components. This feature was added to auto
freeze as you modeled.

Child compensation was added to get so you could move a parent node with
out effecting the children .

My recollection

There's an "Immed" button in that interface.. I distinctly remember that
feature being added to XSI at some point, like v2 or v3, it wasn't there
from the start, that's for sure. Such an odd thing to be in an early 
mockup

only to surface years later as an actual feature, isn't it? No Freeze
button either which is also weird if Sumatra was non-linear from the 
start.

Yup, what Greg said. It was to model without creating a modeling stack because 
at the time, it was slowing down a bit. ;)

"Immediate" mode made it's appearance in XSI v3.0 so the Maya users would 
stop complaining about children not moving with the parent.  The default 
Softimage behavior was for the children to move only when selected in branch 
mode.
