Max2map programming question

In max2map inside the SceneObject::process()function there is a function call to the max matrix library:
that transforms the current node's face vertices to the current nodes transform matrix and then add's the current node's offset to each vertice.
and then scales it to the geometry scale.
my question is why?? transform each vertice.
what's the need to do it?
the only thing i can think off is if there are WSM modifiers on the stack.
From the MaxSdk
this is used to construct the plane that map2dif will use to re-construct each brush from a .map file
Any thought to why the transform.
Point3 maxPnt = nodeTM.PointTransform(mesh.getVert(face.v[j]));
maxPnt += offset;
maxPnt *= gMapProperties.mGeometryScale;that transforms the current node's face vertices to the current nodes transform matrix and then add's the current node's offset to each vertice.
and then scales it to the geometry scale.
