Use custom hidden ObjectManipulator to move entities

This sample uses a hidden custom ObjectManipulator to move the entities.
After the entity is selected with a mouse click, you can start the dragging of the selected entity on view.
When the viewport is clicked again the translation is applied to the entities.

using devDept.Eyeshot.Entities;
