3dconnexion Space Mouse Compatibility

Anonymous
Not applicable

I use my space mouse for all of my modeling and 3d design applications. My company just switched to BIM 360 glue to model our buildings. My mouse is no longer compatible and does not manipulate the model. This is a huge inconvenience seeing how even the regular navigation tools in 360 glue are subpar. Is there any plug-in or update that can fix this issue?

Five years feels like enough time for this to be researched and solved, any closer Autodesk?

Hi everyone,

 

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.
