Thanks Robot17... I don't have the camera linked - never needed to try it. I do put my groups in layers. I'm using a lot of alpha planes to save on polys. What is strange is that 1 group of 12 alphas stayed put and moved with the scene. It's the outer objects (on the 'edges' of the property) that moved when I rotated the scene using the rotate in the main view window (the 4 pane window). It's easier/faster for me to rotate the scene than to mess with the camera. I'm using Vue 4. I've worked on hundreds of scenes and never had this problem. I must be overlooking something very simple. This is a very special project, and it's got to be perfect.
