3D Connexion Not Working

[milezee]

Trying to set up my 3D Connexion wireless space mouse on my MBP using VW2020. The pan tools are fine, right, left, up down, zoom in/out are working ok. Its the spin & tilt when in a 3d perspective view that just don't work at all ?? Any ideas 🤔

I have the same device set up to work fantastic in Rhino 3d

Screenshot attached, its the Green icons which are just not working, tia

I have similar issue with the Spacemouse, after much trial and error I realise that the Spacemouse for vectorworks is poorly mapped and often mirrored.

 

I think spin isnt a function supported in Vectorworks.

here is what I got to working so far.

 

hope this helps

@PeterYip thanks for chipping in, think my settings are pretty much the same, i just can't get the tilt or spin to work, kind of defeats the object of having a space mouse, works beautiful in Rhino, its a dream to use, but in Vectorworks it sucks yet they have it as supported software 🙄🤔

You are certainly able to spin the model, that function is actually mapped as roll in 3D connexion rather than ‘spin’
 

Sadly you are not able to tilt them sideways, I don’t think you can actually do that anyway.

@PeterYip no spin here, anything at the bottom of the list in green just doesn't work

@milezee try change the mapping (the right hand side column) to 3D Mouse Roll Left / Right

 

the tilt function should work. 
 

if all fail, maybe try raise a support ticket with 3Dconnexion.

@PeterYip I think i may have just solved the tilt & spin issue, in the configure window I just had the default Vectorworks set, I added VW 2020 from applications, and it now seems to work, still not as slick as in Rhino, but it works, cheers for the assistance 👍
