Spacenavigator not working in sketchup

Post by fredS »

Spacenavigator is not working properly for me in sketchup version 7. What it’s doing when I try to rotate a 3d model is it jumps in large steps. In this configuration the thing is next to useless.

It performs the way I think it should in Google earth.

I reinstalled the driver and it didn't change anything.

What's wrong?
What to do?

Dear fredS,

What release version of 3DxSoftware do you find listed in the 3Dconnexion Control Panel using the About Item under the Help Menu?

Sincerely,
Bryan

release version 3.7.18
driver version 6.7.13
firmware version 3.18

New discovery -- When I turn (VIEW - EDGE STYLE > DISPLAY EDGES) OFF, then rotation and all the other functions are smooth. When I set that back to ON then its back to being jumpy allthough now it's not as bad. It's actually useable.

Hi skell,

did you install Sketchup 7 after you installed the 3DxSoftware? If yes, you should run the "Update Wizard".
