Translate

Translate is almost identical to Lightwave's interactive move tool. However, it provides two additional features. When dragging your selection with the right mouse button, the selection will be translated along the local normals. When dragging with the right mouse button with shift held down, the selection will be translated along the averaged normal. Note - there's a plugin to translate selections along normals but I wanted to create something that could eventually replace move all together to cut down on the number of tools needed. Furthermore, the 'PntNormMove' tool I used didn't work quite right when I wanted to undo - there was a multi-click mechanism involved to undo but I wanted to design a more versatile one which works just like Lightwave's built-in tools. Furthermore, I wanted to add the ability to move along the averaged normal.

Note - in this early version, the translate tool does not work yet with multiple foreground selections. I am working on correcting this asap.
