Ok, here it is.

I have included a userlib folder for the userlibs required. They are for the file requestor code.

A few point for usage.

The camera only drags to move when holding and dragging on the gizmo. Don't ask why... can't remember :D I forgot to hidemousepointer too, as i run it in full screen mode.

You best working in GLOBAL mode. There are buttons at the bottom to switch modes.

Left mouse button when dragging operates the X/Z axis. Right mouse button operates the Y axis.

You can lock an axis so only that axis gets effected, using the XYZ buttons, next to the padlock.

You drag the camera by holding the mouse button down for half a second. Holding in the middle mouse button rotates the view.

Sorry, controls are very clunky as i was messing about with them. As you can see, the only point in the gizmo currently in to choose a mid point for scaling and rotating. I was in the middle of changing everything about a year ago. Never got back to it :o( I have include a models folder so you can open meshes from within the app and muck about with them.

Hope some of that helps :o)
