move faces along normals

[Jozvex]

If you download the bonus game tools from AW, there is a tool that does this......but not very easily.

This is one feature that Maya really needs for modelling!

And it already has it in two forms, not counting the new games bonus stuff. Both the Move Component tool and Artisan are capable of this right out of the box.

Oh I forgot about Artisan, though it would be tricky moving individial faces with it.

And I can't believe no-one in my Maya class of 18 people ever discovered the Move Component Tool!!!

It's a shame it deselects each time because it's an action.

But it's still great, it even has a random function!

This one forum has solved most of our classes annoyances.

Moving components along their normals, falloff maps, soft selection.
