Normal Move, Scale, Rotate
It would be useful if the Translate Manipulator - when set to Normal orientation, would operate on the individual Normal of selected faces.
Currently, the Extrude tool sort of works this way. When selecting a variety of faces they can be extruded and each extrusion moves outward along the Normal of that particular face. Upon completing the extrusion, the translate manipulator no longer respects the normal of individual faces. It instead works on some form of group total positioning, even when set to Normal orientation.
With the Preserve Group setting unchecked, the Extrude tool can extrude out individual faces. Being able to manipulate these based on their individual normals, at one time, is preferable to selecting and manipulating each one individually.
