3Dconnexion Support!

[tommy_acierno]

Hey everyone! At long last, the wait is over. Many of you have been wondering when you get to fly through a 3D model like a dream. We’re excited to share that 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse is supported in SketchUp for Web on both Windows and Mac OS X…

Of course, the latest SpaceMouse hardware is recommended and the latest drivers are a must.

1. To get started (assuming you have a SpaceMouse with the latest drivers), open SketchUp for Web and then open the 3Dconnexion Properties Driver.
2. In the 3Dconnexion Properties, click the Configure drop-down and select “SketchUp for Web.”
3. Click the Navigation tab and use the settings that you like. Personally, I learned to use a 3Dconnexion device with the Target Camera motionmodel back in the day, so I always use that setting.

Have fun taking the SpaceMouse for a spin around your SketchUp model! And let us know how it goes.

Thanks, Tommy! Do you have a specific version of the driver that works for this? My driver says I am up-to-date, but I don’t see “SketchUp for Web” in the app list. That said, my 3d mouse DOES work in SU4Web, but I cannot find a way to lock the horizon.

So excited for this!!

The master 3Dconnexion driver, himself. Good to hear from you, Aaron

For Windows, you want 3DxWare 10.9.1 or newer.
For OS X, you want 3DxWare 10.8.5 or newer.

Ah ha!! I was on 10.8.4 and the “check for update” lied to me and told me I was up-to-date!

Downloading and installing now!

this is great news indeed, been waiting a long time for this.

Having trouble getting this to work in windows. Doesn’t seem to recognize that i’m in sketchup web, just shows default settings for chrome

Hi Phunge, I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with 3DxWare UI. We’re unable to reproduce this issue. Are you using the latest 3DxWare driver?
