Hi, I can’t figure out how can I can add individual meshes to the scene (loaded with the SceneLoader)

If I use the **container.addAllToScene();**, It also adds some lights that I don’t want to add.  
I tried setting a parent object that is already in the scene, but the object does not appear.  
Isn’t there something like, scene.addChild(mesh) ?

Here is an example of my code

```
 var pivot = new BABYLON.TransformNode("root");

 var loader=BABYLON.SceneLoader.LoadAssetContainer("./models/", "teapot.babylon", scene, 
           function (container) {
                    var meshes = container.meshes;
                    var materials = container.materials;
                
                    for (var i=0;i<meshes.length;i++){    
                        meshes[i].setParent(pivot);
                    }
          });
```

Can you try to repro in the Playground? Will be easier to help

Hi!  
Hope I got your question right, that you only want to import specific meshes to the scene…

I build this Playground as example for you:  
[https://playground.babylonjs.com/#Z44DT5](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#Z44DT5)

You may take a look at the link @JohnK provided! The assetsmanger is also a nice way to do it and brings some really nice features with it.

If you need more help, then a repro in the Playground would be usefull 🙂
