On a side note, this should be a good example of developing good habits/ workflow. If yr gonna constuct a large scene, parent everything as you add it in a logical fashion.

I wouldn't parent everything to the floor... IMO thas almost as bad as not parenting. Rather, I would (for example) parent a plate to a table, food to the plate, & the table itself to the floor. Then if ya gotta move the table 6" to the left, everything on it will move accordingly. Likewise, if ya gotta move yr dinner plate to make room fer pie, yr leftovers will move with the plate, but the table & other place settings will remain in place.

Lookin' forward to seein' yr scene  :)
