This node allows a translation to be associated with some or all of the components of an input object. A tweak node is placed in the history of all deformed shapes so that the user can control the ordering of the CV translation and the deformers.

For example, consider a user that applies a deformation to an object and then explicitly manipulates the position of that objects' components (for example, a sphere's cv's). The transformations normally stored on the cv's are stored in the tweak node instead. This allows for reordering both the deformers and the tweak node in the chain of operations.
