I'm trying to use the parenter plugin but it doesn't seem to work exactly like normal parent in that you can obvioulsy parent stuff but then if you want to offset the object that's parented it won't allow you it just sitcks to the pivot of it's parent.

How do I get around this?

Don't directly parent the object, parent it to a null that is parented to an object, and move the null..
I know.. it's crummy, but its the only way, and it works..

Cheers pooby, seems a bit weird that a null works but not a normal object but that's a great help.

It's not that it's a null, it's that youve got it acting as the middle-man
