Hello everybody, I’ve read quite a lot posts on this topic but unfortunately I am still not able to make it work: Sketchup 2017 with 3D Mouse Connexion I installed SketchUp2017 (17.1.174 64bit) Updated Connexion Driver (3DxWare64\_v10-4-8\_r248) Restarted the system several times Reinstalled SketchUp 2017 Installed SketchUp 2016 Updated Connexion Driver again. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… Do you guys have any idea what I can try to make it work…!? Thanks a lot! ---

Have you reached out to 3DConnexion? They are very responsive and offer very good support. ---

Have you checked that it is Enabled in the Extension Manager? ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/3/c/3c5253fc18331d2863ac2a8ebfa9438de43467f1.JPG) ---

Which Extension in the Extension Manager needs to be enabled. I cannot find an extension called 3D mouse… I already looked it up in the Warehouse but did not find an extension. Is this extension preinstalled? Thanks a lot! Dominic ---

I posted a screen grab of the extension above, Extension Name, 3DxSketchup/ Author, 3Dconnexion. This will appear in the Extension Manager within Sketchup if you have successfully installed the most recent Driver from 3DConnexion. Until that is showing it won’t function. ---

Be sure to ‘Install Plugins’ any time you update the 3dConnexion drivers’ ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/e/1/e1d9b2936fea5f3af654a70434481e4c03d33d7b.png) ---

> [@Box](#): > > 3DxSketchup/ Author, 3Dconnexion Hey guys, probably I do not see the wood for the trees… @Box: Extension 3DxSketchup is not installed @bmike: If I want to have this extension installed I need to install a Plugin within the connexion software/driver? Your screenshot show’s something I do not have available… ☹ The only “setup tool” I do have available is “3Dconnexion Home”, there is no Plugin function available… Somehow I get the feeling that I’m doing something completely wrong… ☹ Cheers ---

Problem solved… I just decided to reinstall again the driver and there was ist… After running the driver.exe file I get to choose: - make changes to the software - repair the software - uninstall the software I alwas reinstalled it. During the installation process I somehow did not find the checkmark “SketchUp”. By choosing “make changes to the software” I was able to select SketchUp, click ok and it was done… Thanks a lot for your Support!!! Great! Cheers and best greetings from Germany, Lufti ---

Make sure you check that 3Dconnexion is enabled in Extentions Manager. It took me forever to find this post which points this out. > [@Spacemouse does not work after SketcUp 2017 install](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/spacemouse-does-not-work-after-sketcup-2017-install/34105/9): > > Achtomas: Here’s what it looks like in my Extension Manager window within SketchUp: Hope this helps!
