Prop making practices and conventions

I am creating my first Studio prop, a multipart measuring grid, made by 6 items which I want to keep separate (to allow the user to easily hide/show them as desidered) yet they must be somehow connected so that they can be moved/rotated as a group.

In Poser I would have:
1 - imported the various parts;
2 - parented 5 of them to the 6th;
3 - saved the lot as a hierarchical prop.

In Studio I see other posibilities, like e.g. parenting the 6 parts to a Group and saving the whole enchilada as a Scene Subset.

I was wondering what are the standard practices for this kind of DAZ Studio products.

    Saving a scene subset is the standard practice in that case. At least, it is with the other PA's I've talked to, and it's what I would use. ;)

    You could also create a Null (an invisible figure) and parent them all to it. The user applies all transforms to the Null and the props follow.

    Menu> Create> Null
