So this may already be a thing and I have just never figured out how to do it, but it would be awesome if there was an easy way to group items in a scene together.
For instance, if I had multiple separate sprites, it would be handy to be able to make them all have the same anchor/pivot points with a single setting, to scale them as a group rather than separately, etc.

Keep an eye out for a followup email from us. We may have a couple more questions for you, or we might already have a solution to offer.
Happy creating!
Hey Rhonda!
It certainly is possible. You can always "group" Scene Objects by parenting them in the Objects hierarchy. Child Scene Objects will have their transform properties (position, scale, rotation) affected by the transform properties of their parent.
Parenting works great for 3D objects and empty Scene Objects, but not so much for 2D screen-space objects... until now!
Lens Studio 2.0 includes a new Screen Transform component which supports anchors and pivots. To see it in action, add a Screen Image (previously known as a Billboard, which is now deprecated) to your project in the Objects Panel (Add New > Screen Image).
We've also updated our Template content to replace Billboards and Sprite Visuals with Screen Images and Images, respectively.
Let me know if you have any questions about a specific 2D content layout, and I'll be happy to help you figure it out!
Best,
Peter
