I need to readjust the parent null, but I want all the children in the same position. Try this: 1. Add a new null to your scene in the position you you want the parent null to move to. Call this null 'NewParent'. 2. Parent 'Parent' to 'NewParent'. 3. Delete Parent. Your other layers should now be children of NewParent.
