AC 27 & 3DConnexion 3D mouse issue!

[Matt Schneider]

The 3DConnexion 3D mouse is not functioning properly with AC27.  I have had no problems with  with AC25 & 26.  PLEASE FIX!

Sorry, scoz, what do you mean?

The Space Mouse can not rotate in 3D Windows and BIMX Windows.
I can't rotate the model based on the Y-axis

I see, thanks for clarifying.

My response was meant for Matt, who posted originally. But, to answer your question, then yes, it should do everything in Archicad, both macOS and Windows. I don't think BIMx can work with the SpaceMouse.

I found the solution to the problem I was having.  Originally, I discovered the issue when I opened up the AC27 out of the box template when I was first checking the release out.  In my quest for the solution, I opened up a AC26 project in AC27.  I had no issues with the space mouse in AC27 when I opened up the AC26 file.  Lead me to believe there was a setting that I couldn't locate.  I asked John from Contrabim if he ever had this issue and he pointed me to  VIEW>3D Navigation Extras>3Dconnexion.  There are two options, Camera Mode & Object Mode.  AC27 template is defaulted to Camera Mode and that is causing the navigation issue.  Changed to Object mode and the issue was fixed.  Not sure why camera mode is problematic but it is.

Hi Matt. That is very interesting, I'll be sure to check that menu as soon as I'm back on my Mac. I actually bought my 3DConnexion SpaceMouse kits when I saw John's video on them 👍 I've learned a lot from his ContraBIM channel.

John turned me on to the space mouse as well.  I have been a Contrabim member since its inception & had purchased his template prior.  Lots of value.

I also watched John using these tools and bought mine last year and they are great to use.
