How do you use the (new) Gizmo tool in Lumion 2023 and newer?

This new (Lumion 2023) Object Tool allows you to Move, Rotate and Scale Objects directly using the Transform Gizmo (Gizmo).

It is easy to use and combines with the Select Tools for Move and change Heading tools from older versions.

But also replaces some options such as the keyboard hotkeys for constraining to the X or Z axis.
