BIMx Desktop Viewer supports 3D navigation devices (e.g. SpaceMouse) by 3D Connexion, on both Mac and Windows.
On Mac only, it is recommended to adjust two of the device settings as described below. This will make navigation with SpaceMouse more intuitive.
On Windows, the default 3D Mouse settings work correctly; you do not have to adjust them.
Where to Configure 3D Mouse Settings for BIMx (Mac only)
1.Start the “3D Connexion Home” app.
2.Click Properties.
3.Enable the Device tab.
4.At the top, in the Configure: field, choose “BIMx” from the list.
If BIMx is not in the list: Choose Add Application from the list, then browse for the BIMx.app on your device.
5.Enable the Axes tab.
6.Change the mapping of the two settings as shown in the table below.
7.Restart BIMx. The new navigation settings will take effect.
