Did you only recently install 2023? I had to restart my PC twice before mine started working following the upgrade. You may also have to reinstall the drivers.

I was able to get it by following this thread

3Dconnexion SpaceMouse not working in SU 2023

Hi, Just upgraded to the latest version, only to find my SpaceMouse is no longer working (working great in v2022). I’ve tried restarting, reinstalling the driver (fresh copy from 3Dconnexion’s website), installing plugins from the 3Dconnexion preferences panel. There’s nothing on the 3Dconnexion forums about this problem. Anyone found a work around for this?

I followed these instructions you referenced. Are you using an M1 Mac?

[KevinMcCall]

Yes I am on a M1 Mac

I don’t know whether 3DC has built a native M1 version of its SketchUp extension. It may be that if you run the M1 version of SketchUp the binary part of the extension can’t load?

I had the same problem with my Space Navigator not working in SU 2023.

I asked the support people at 3D Connexion to see if the latest driver for Mac OS, version 10.7.4 was OK.

I received the answer that the latest driver does not officially support SU 2023.

However, they pointed out that some customers have found a workaround which consist in copying the 3DxSketchUp folder and the 3DxSketchUp.rb file from the 2022 Plugin folder to the 2023 folder. Those are in Library/Application Support.

I tried it and it seems to work.

See here

Upgrading SU Pro 2022 to 2023

There are two locations where extension get loaded from, the user appdata (~/library/Application Data on Mac) and the ProgramData (Library on Mac). The SketchUp 2023 in the general library or programdata might not exist yet, unless you installed V-Ray. That’s where the 3Dconnexion files should go.
