SceneKit: vertically center scaled SCNNode inside parent?

问题

The goal is to scale a SCNNode and vertically center it within its parent.

However, scaling a SCNNode does not affect its bounding box and computing the scaled height does not work. Without an accurate height, how can you vertically center the node inside its parent?

To illustrate the problem with using the scaled height, see the attached file, Tiki.dae. The original height of the asset (as shown by the bounding box) is 324.36. If you set the Y-scale to 0.01, however, the height doesn't become ~3.24. It becomes smaller than 3, which you can prove by fitting it comfortably within a sphere of height 3 (radius of 1.5).

The code below attempts to center a scaled node inside its parent, but it doesn't work.

Note: reference node is the fox/panda reference node from the WWDC 2015 fox demo.

            // Create reference node
            let referenceNode = SCNReferenceNode(URL: referenceURL)
            referenceNode?.load()

            // Scale reference node
            let scale = Float(3)
            referenceNode?.scale = SCNVector3(x: scale, y: scale, z: scale)

            // Create geometry for sphere
            let sphereGeometry = SCNSphere(radius: (gridSphere.geometry as! SCNSphere).radius)
            //sphereGeometry.materials = gridSphere.geometry!.materials
            sphereGeometry.firstMaterial!.diffuse.contents = gPurpleColor

            // Create sphere to hold reference node, position at same place as <gridSphere>
            let liveSphere = SCNNode(geometry: sphereGeometry)
            liveSphere.position = gridSphere.position

            // Center reference node inside <liveSphere>
            var min = SCNVector3Zero
            var max = SCNVector3Zero
            referenceNode?.getBoundingBoxMin(&min, max: &max)
            let referenceNodeHeight = max.y - min.y
            referenceNode?.position = SCNVector3(x: 0, y: 0 - referenceNodeHeight, z: 0)

            // Add reference node to <liveSphere>
            liveSphere.addChildNode(referenceNode!)

            // This value never changes no matter the scale value???
            print(referenceNodeHeight)

Here's a Playground that adds a cube (in place of your reference node) as a child of the sphere. The cube responds to scaling (see the lines following "// Scale reference node").
