So, maybe this is a feature request 😊  
Would like to be able to see the clearance of an object while moving it  
The issue being that the object goes solid when being moved  
Anyway to overcome this?

Not sure what you said there… would i like to see the object that I am moving, like an transparent object and the ‘shadow of it while I move it? If this is the suggestion, I say sure, it could be helpful a lot.

The top is the object transparent  
The bottom when it is selected to be rotated  
We want to be able to rotate the selected object while being able to see the cleanse of the internal tabs  
Since the object goes sold when moving you can’t see the interaction between the two objects
