Subject: Scaling a multi-part prop

This has been bugging me for a while.

OK so if you have a multi part prop, something like a building with separate parts like walls, roof, doors, etc. that can be used or removed individually...  This is just a cheesy quick made object that was made on a freebie 3D program.  It was turned into a prop file in Poser 7.

How in the world do you select the entire prop to scale it up or down without having to individually scale the different parts and then maneuver them back together? 

Because when I try to scale down the parts, it's a royal pain to try and reposition the parts.   

Is there a way to group them together and scale the whole thing at once?

Something like this really should be rigged as a figure, for easy scaling.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Parent each part to ONE thing. Like parent all the parts to the floor. When you scale the parent , all the child props will scale. It also makes it easy to move the whole thing, just select the parent and move that , all the childs go with it.

Thanks for the suggestions. 

I had thought of the parenting bit before I posted here but decided against it.  However after reading the reply about using parenting I decided to try it.  Didn't really work.  During scaling all the parts seemed to implode on each other.  lol

So I'm going to turn it into a figure.  Am just learning/practicing anyway so no harm done.

Thanks so much for the replies!!

Some parent props do seem to work better than others.  Using a Poser primitive Square or Cube as the Parent prop  should work to proportionally scale the children props without distortion.
