It is possible to attach a parent item in a set to another parent item (chain-parenting) as well as attaching the parent items of more than one set to another parent item (group-parenting).
Moving a complex set consisting of chained/grouped sets works fine UNLESS there is at least one item in the set that can not be placed (due to a skyplot's boundaries). In simple sets with just one parent any child item will remain where ever it was last place-able. This will also be visible, because any the un-placeable child items remain in their last possible position.
A complex set, however, will be different: Prior to release, i.e. while still previewing the new position, it will look just like the simple set with any un-placeable child item(s) staying put. Upon release items that showed placeable, will not be moved from their pre-move position if their place within the set follows a non-placeable item.
It helps to keep the first parent item backed up at all times when moving a complex set with items that may end up outside a skyplot's boundaries, because of course the parent item will place just fine at its new position, while the rest that did look fine places at its pre-move position and behind will need to be attached to a copy of the first parent item if the move is to be repeated, this time minding non-movable items.
