   i am also getting this behaviour i believe in 1.0.4:

   when trying to move an existing visible element child from one parent oldParent to another newParent in the scene, with:

   newParent.appendChild(child)
   

   afterwards, the javascript object exists, but the child entity is invisible.
   as far as i could tell the child's object3D.parent was correctly set to the newParent's object3d after appending.

   i'm also posting other problems around moving elements around scene hierarchy related to transformations to #2425

   We recommend reparenting at the THREE.js level Attaching / reattaching and re initializing components is costly and not always reliable (components have to account for a complex costly scenario that is relatively rare)
