[PD] GEM: animations

[Kyle Klipowicz]

Ok, that was a dumb question, after looking at separator.

But it raises some questions for me: is the best way to position
multi-geo unit, say of a sphere being orbited by smaller spheres, best
accomplished by using a lot of additions, or is there a way to chain
translate objects?

I mean that I am trying to move the entire ensemble, of say 5 objects,
while keeping their relative positions in tact.
