how can i change the shortcut of the orbit -in the selection mode- which is as default (middle mouse button + shift) to be only by clicking on the middle mouse button just like SektchUp.
as i am using both softwares, it make it a way harder for me to work fast on my projects
if any body has any idea plz share it with me

Don't think you can reassign it in ArchiCAD, however you might be able to use software for your mouse to setup a profile for ArchiCAD to change behaviour of the button.

'O' also activates orbit, if that helps.

Depends on you mouse manufacture. If you use a Logitech mouse, it would be LGS or Logitech Options depending on whether you are using one of their gaming or office mice. Razer has a program called Synapse for their peripherals. Other brands have their own. Some that work well, others that do not. I do not know of any generic software to do this as it has to do with the mouse drivers but there might be something around...

I use setpoint for logitech, but as pointed out by Ling, that most likely only works for logitech mice.

Unless you have some extremely cheap non-brand mouse, there would be something out there.
