Node Dummy
A 
dummy node is a zero-sized node that has no visual representation. It is used to organize the other nodes into a hierarchy. Usually the Dummy Node serves as a parent node for a group of nodes of the same type. The Dummy Node, though invisible, has the same common options as other nodes: it can be transformed (moved, rotated or scaled) and have a property assigned.
Notice
The Dummy Node differs from the Dummy Object: you cannot assign physical properties to the Dummy Node.
