in a recent thread i discussed some issues i was having using Lisa's Botanicals. now that that situation is under control thanks to SamTherapy and Acadia, i want to do more...

some of the props are groups of flowers. when i load them, they show up as individual objects. if i make one the parent of the others, i can rotate them as a group. that's great.

however, if i want to resize the entire group, i have to resize each one and in addition they do not retain the same relative spacing. one thing i tried was to make a pz3 file and then changed the file type to a character file type. they load all at once and rotate together but they are still individual objects and cannot be resized together.

so, can i combine them all together into one object in some kind of reasonable way while maintaining their relatives sizes and spacing? is this possible without using some other software?
