Does anyone out there use SketchUp and a Space Navigator for large or medium scale 3d models (such as large buildings) and does it work for you?

I found the Space Navigator could no longer be used with large scale models after they released their “3dxWare” drivers in 2013. The old “3dx Software” drivers worked fine.

I posted a detailed description of the issue on the [3D Connexion](http://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=13030) website looking for others who have noticed the issue and a solution but haven’t found any.

I made short 90 second videos showing the issue:

[Old “3dx Software” Drivers work perfectly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCQxeKBzZ84)
