1.	The translated coordinates are the matrix multiplied by the initial coordinate plus the global translation given by Tx, Ty and Tz.

transform_matrix

The matrix is orthonormal and with this option it allows coordinate rotation, translation and symmetry, but does not allow scaling or shear.

2.	A transformation can not apply to a node group and a submodel at the same time.

3.	If the transformation is done on a submodel, all the options of this submodel are transformed.

4.	A node can not be transformed both in a submodel and a node group.
