Octant oriented translation gizmo?

Have you guys considered changing the translation gizmo to be octant oriented? When moving objects around, it’s not always easy to click on the 2D translation planes, like in the image below, 2 out of the 3 are much harder to click because they’re mostly occluded.

If you always aligned the gizmo to be facing the user depending upon which octant the user was in, all of the gizmo’s planes and axises would be easier to click on regardless of user position relative to gizmo.

Actually this is a great suggestion. I’m not sure why we haven’t done this earlier. I’ll add it to our queue to discuss in our tools features meetings. Thank you!

So is this implemented or what?
