i've been missing that functionality for months

so when i loaded the 3-parts glasses shown here, i decided to implement it as a script

Is there an advantage to parenting objects to a null rather than putting them in a group?

mCasual

 the groups is one of those things i didnt notice were added to recent versions of Daz Studio so i think i never even used them

but they seem do do the job, i wonder why the null node creation menu lost the parent option.

maybe there's differences in the way, for example, Scaling propagates to the group-members vs the null-children

Nulls are also better in that it provides a clearly-defined reference point.

They're also great when you need to "point at..." something :)

Thanks, mCasual and mtl1, for those comments.
