khumenny 23 Posted January 13, 2019 This is the ONLY thing I miss from Sketchup... easy 3D navigation. (Apple magic mouse) Also would be good to use left hand gestures on a magic trackpad, pinch zoom / two finger rotate, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post
0 rgcn 77 Posted January 13, 2019 You should have a look at the 3DConnexion space mouse. These make 3D maneuvering a breeze in Vectorworks. I have both the wireless and enterprise. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post
0 markdd 707 Posted January 13, 2019 Uncheck Mouse-wheel zooms in Vectorworks Preferences. That should give you something near to what you are looking for..... Quote Share this post Link to post
0 khumenny 23 Posted January 14, 2019 rgcn, the Rhino guys I worked with in film used those but I never tried one with VW, good to hear you say it works well. That might be the answer. Quote Share this post Link to post
0 milezee 80 Posted January 15, 2019 @khumenny I use a 3d connexion space navigator with Rhino, it's great, new to VW and it seems to work ok too, I think I need more time to master it in VW 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post
0 zoomer 1,031 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) For me Space Navigator doesn't work ok in VW. a) I don't like that it switches Modes (Walkthrough vs Flyover) for Perspective vs Orthogonal b) It is not able to use Flyover Tools Settings for Rotation Center, Middle of View especially) like any other App, but always rotates around origin. (Which is almost never suitable in my cases) Edited January 15, 2019 by zoomer Quote Share this post Link to post
0 Neil Barman 164 Posted January 15, 2019 @khumenny, like @rgcn and (most) others, I quite like my 3DConnexion gear. I had a Spacemouse Navigator (wireless) for a couple of years and have made the jump to a Spacemouse Enterprise. I suspect that you'd like using a Spacemouse too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
