Hi Shawn,

I tried a similar scene (not knowing your setup). Placing those on layers was fast. (Select children and drag all selected to the new layer, or just "brush" the layer down for that group in the Object manager.

I could look into it if I knew more or had the file (Dropbox or Google, Apple, Adobe, Wetransfer, sorry, I do not touch anything else).

My best wishes for the project.
