Julian, If I had to approach this in the tool SDK I would probably just store the relative mouse offset that was applied while shift-dragging and add this onto the input mouse position when not shift-dragging. That way the spotlight position wouldn't jump or change when using shift-dragging.

On second thought, here's a variation of that idea: On LMB pressed, place the selected light to create a highlight. On MMB pressed (or LMB + modifier key) copy the selected light and use the copy to place the new highlight. This way, you will never need to query the user for what type of new

Years ago I rigged some braids to deform by low res poly strips. There is a simpler way. Cage is overkill. You could constrain a null per polygon (cluster) and turn on all the options (in the Constrain-Object to Cluster constraint) so it locks to the poly orientation well. You can then use those
