Well, my favourite in manipulating large scenes is bringing in a ball prop, open the hierarchy menu and drag and drop all figures/props on the ball. Then you can rotate, scale, drag do anything to the ball and the whole scene will be affected. You can have multiple groups like that. I wonder who developed this as this something of a well-known (if not expected) trick in Cinema 4D. It has a 'Null object' specifically for these purposes into which you drop other objects for doing similar things. It is also very useful for controlling rotations - and avoiding gimbal lock. I know that there is a trick similar to this in Poser for doing the same.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
