I know this may not be the correct place to post this topic but it is worth a try please if any are up to the task for adding support of 3Dconnexion's SpaceNavigator for mac osX there would be an instant increase productivity
and would benifit the end user,Graphisoft,3Dconnexion,and any Dev!
With many thanks from all involved in and with Archicad for any time spent on even the contimplation of this or any information on hopeful implementation is much appreciated

PS there is a SDK posted on 3Dconnexion's website

Hello,
Any news reguarding the launch of the 3DCONNEXION plugin for ARCHICAD?

What this plugin do for Archicad?

I have ran the Spacenavigator Personal Edition on my Powerbook with ArchiCAD 11 just a few minutes ago. Latest driver from 3dconnexion was installed.
And on Windows XP it works too.

It is only effective in the 3D View, though.

There is a bug on Windows with the latest driver from 3dconnexion and the ArchiCAD 11 release, which will be fixed only in the next hotfix. Macs work fine, though...

Sorry 'bout that,

Akos

Does this indicate that I do not have the latest ArchiCAD release? Or that I do not have the latest 3Dconnexion drivers? Since it works in Windows for me...

Is 3D-connection just for AC11?

Does anyone have one of their devices? Are you happy with it?

Here's the official press release, from October. Looks like those who tried it over the summer were ahead of the game.
http://www.3dconnexion.com/news/press/102907_ArchiCAD.htm
Any updates? There's some other threads that complain about driver problems. Is this fixed? Can I go ahead an get one?

I haven't been using it that much in ArchiCAD, but it does miracles in Google Earth and it works well with SketchUp, 3ds max and other software too.

It definitely works in ArchiCAD 11 (1114) and with release 3.3.6 (6.3.3 drivers) on Windows XP SP2. I'm not testing other combinations at the moment.

Edit: I did slow down the navigation speed (certainly for rotations) considerably. I still am unsure if I prefer navigation versus object manipulation mode. I mostly use it for walking around rather than for manipulation the scene as if I was holding a maquette.
