Thanks for your help!

Here is a simple collada2Node class.

//collada2SCNNode
class func collada2SCNNode(filepath:String) -> SCNNode {
    var node = SCNNode()
    let scene = SCNScene(named: filepath)
    var nodeArray = scene!.rootNode.childNodes

    for childNode in nodeArray {
        node.addChildNode(childNode as SCNNode)
    }
    return node
}
