Hello! It seems like initially there was only support for meshes, then support for nodes was added later, but the attachedMesh property is kept for back-compatibility. [Gizmo Node support by CedricGuillemet · Pull Request #8540 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js (github.com)](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/pull/8540) 🙂  
@RaananW should we mark attachedMesh as deprecated so we can move it into LTS later? 🤔

I agree that mark attachedMesh as deprecated.On the other hand,attachedMesh and attachedNode are different.

We had better review the code with attachedMesh prop. 😄
