Crosshair Widget Help

The Crosshair Widget consists of the Point Widget with a cylindrical axis along three orthogonal directions. The primary use of the Crosshair Widget is to select a coordinate in a cluttered space. We consider a cluttered space to be one where it may be overly difficult for the user to select a Point Widget due to occlusion. Also, the Crosshair Widget may be used to select objects in space (such as mesh elements), so the center of the widget would be hidden inside the selected object. (Note: the Crosshair Widget requires no constraints.)

The sphere or cylinders may be dragged to relocate the point. The widget tends to move along the three axes.
