3DConnexion - Spacemice are used in the industry by many colleagues. The support on Inventor, Fusion and Revit has been out for a long time. ACC (&Bim360) is missing this feature. It can be supported with web-based applications as other companies integrate this flawlessly.
SDK's are publicly available to integrate this feature in ACC.
Support 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse devices for navigation in all ACC web viewers (Docs, Build, Model Coordination) in Chrome and Microsoft Edge.Enable full 6‑DOF navigation (orbit, pan, zoom, roll) from the SpaceMouse cap, matching behavior in Revit/AutoCAD/Fusion.Provide default SpaceMouse profiles plus user‑configurable sensitivity, speed, and axis inversion.Ensure SpaceMouse works in 3D models and, where sensible, in 2D sheets for pan/zoom.Add a simple toggle in the viewer UI to enable/disable SpaceMouse and adjust sensitivity.This significantly improves navigation efficiency for heavy model reviewers and reduces strain compared to using only a standard mouse.
Since this request has been open for quite some time without an official solution, I took it upon myself to bridge the gap. I have successfully developed a script that handles 3DConnexion input directly within the web browser. This finally enables full SpaceMouse functionality within the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC/Forma) environment.
To be honest, it’s quite disappointing that after years of community requests, I had to spend my own time developing a fix that should be a standard feature in any professional 3D environment. The Autodesk dev team needs to take note and integrate this functionality ASAP to support the professional hardware we use every day.
I have attached a video demonstrating the script in action. If you are interested in more details or want to see how this works, feel free to reach out!
