Add objects to parent object for rotating

Hi,

Is it possible to add objects to a (parent) plane to rotate the objects like a queue or conveyor with a plane?

In my example file, queue 1 and conveyor 1 are assigned to the plane and they turn with the plane when rotate the plane, because they are created and placed on the plane. Queue 2 and conveyor 2 are not assigned to the plane because they are created outside the plane. However I want to rotate them together with the plane.

So, my question is how to add these objects (queue2 and conveyor 2) to the plane so that they rotate with the plane?

Thanks in advance!

If you open the Edit Selected Objects window (View -> Edit Selected Objects) the top button will change from "Move into Model" to "Move into Highlighted" if you click on an object. You'll want to select the objects you want to move into the plane in red (Hold SHIFT and lasso the objects or hold SHIFT or CTRL and click on a single object) and click on the plane to make it highlighted in yellow. Then just press the "Move into Highlighted" button.
