Since I can't seem to edit my original post, I'll need to clarify something in this reply - I mentioned that if I click outside the mesh and then rotate/zoom, the performance is fine. To clarify, if I rotate or zoom using my main mouse (not the space mouse), things are fine.

This may sound like a weird one, but for some strange reason whenever I zoom in to a mesh (faces/points count makes no difference), I get low FPS when navigating. If I click my mouse outside the mesh and either rotate or zoom, the performance is normal. That leads me to suspect it has something to d...

Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an odd problem with the latest software for my Space Navigator. I installed the latest drivers, and the device works flawlessly. However, whenever I unplug the device from the USB port, there is still an emulator that is being recognized by Windows. I probably should ha...

We have released a new build of our Maya plug-in that should address some of the issues with the rotation centre. The installer is available for download here . I'd like to thank you guys for finally resolving this issue that has been going on for quite awhile. I had email contact with a 3DConnexio...

Wow, this editing posts feature would be really nice.


I see what you have done with the new driver. It does solve the issue in a round-about way. It's not exactly what I expected, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Keep working on it guys, you almost got it!

I have "Auto" and "Use Selected Item" both checked in the pop-up menu, and I still cannot rotate around any selected vertex, edge, or face. It still wants to rotate around the entire object.

Any other thoughts?

I would have edited my above post, but I suppose editing is disabled here. I figured out why I could not pan in any direction, so that is fixed. Two mistakes in one day, wow. Anyhow... Where is the old menu that used to pop up when you clicked on the "3D Control" button on the Maya main me...

Hi Semus, At what point do you see this error message? Have you tried re-running the 3.14.0 installer? Select "Repair" when given the option. I forgot to uninstall the older driver, so I apologize for that. That seems to have fixed this error. However, I still cannot pan left, right, up, ...

Hi Semus, We released a new major update to our Maya plug-in a few days ago (it is included in 3DxSoftware v. 3.14.0). The new plug-in has new algorithms to automatically calculate the rotation centre position. You can configure the plug-in in the "popup menu" (press the "Menu" ...

Is this a limitation with the Maya program itself? And you said: Unfortunately, you can't explicitly get the pivot to stay at the center of an object after you have unselected that object. This is not what I am after. I mentioned above that I want to rotate around a specific vertex, edge, or face wh...

I have been reading numerous topics about this same subject, and it seems as if this issue with Maya still isn't fixed? I have seen threads that are almost a year old about this problem. How can an issue that has been there for over a year still not be addressed? Is it a software limitation? Someone...

I'm sure this has come up before, but I just wanted to see if there was a solution to this problem. When I select any vertex or face or an edge, my Space Navigator does not rotate around those selected faces or edges, instead it rotates around the entire object. Is there some button I forgot to chec...
