Re: You have to be kidding!!!

O.K., maybe I was a little hasty in my remarks, but I can't edit them. I read the other thread about the plugins, and 7 is now working. Vectorworks is still a bit dodgey though, and I think updating the driver, should have also updated the plugins...that would make sense to me..... but at least 7 is...

You have to be kidding!!!

I thought I would dust off the 3Dconnexion to see if it might work now, after sitting on a shelf for over a year. A year and a half later and not only does it have the SAME EXACT PROBLEM, but now with Sketchup 7 it does not work AT ALL!!!!!!! This is with the latest driver from you, and the latest S...

What machine are you using? Is it an old one? It is a three month old mac pro as mentioned above: I have 2GB of memory and dual 2.66 intel (mac). I also have upgraded video cards, and 1.7 terabytes of HD I think I know where you are going with this, but it is not the complexity that slows it down. ...

I just tried it and this is what I found: The speed between jerks does go slower or faster as you would expect, so the speed is working. However the interval between the jerks is still exactly the same regardless of speed. Even though more image has been processed between jerks. The jerking is time ...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I tried that and Sketchup now works - sort off. It works very smoothly for about 30 seconds then gets 'jumpy' or jerky for the rest of the session. at the rate of about two thirds of a second. This is in any movement. smooth then stop smooth stop and so on. This jumpy beh...

Update: I shut down vectorworks, and changed the device tab settings several times, clicked 'use defaults', repeated, set the 'device' to lift up and down (green arrow seting on left) and now vectorworks while in the 'perspective view', unconstrained walkthrough mode is now working correctly! Which ...

3):Regarding Vectorworks, I have been able to select a different mode (must be in perspective to access it) and the 'unconstrained walkthrough navigation' mode does use all(I think) parts of the spacenav's inputs. However it is completely jumbled, and the 3dconnexion's preference is pretty useless t...

Hello, Thanks for your reply. 1.) Google SketchUp 6.0 (6.0.1145) Pro & free 6.0 (6.0.277) Pro are the versions I have tried. 2.) The 'Picture Viewer' I am looking for is the one mentioned in your literature and right on the 3Dconnexion's SpaceNavigator box. To quote> ".....or pan and zoom y...

Sketch up won't work with SpaceNavigator, why?

Hello, I cannot get it to work with Sketchup. I have tried several versions, including the most recent version on Google's site. I don't what I am doing wrong (if anything). Does it need to be activated in a preference somewhere? Any ideas?? I also can't find the 'Picture Viewer' anywhere on the ins...
