3D mouse
It is possible to use a 3D mouse from 3DConnexion. Basically a 3D mouse is used in addition to your traditional mouse and allows you to easily handle objects in the 3D scene. A 3D mouse has 6 degrees of freedom (3 rotations and 3 translations) that can be used simultaneously and give you the feeling of handling 3D objects as if they were in your own hand.
 | Move the model left and right (horizontal pan) |
 | Zoom in and out |
 | Move the model up and down (vertical pan) |
 | Rotate backwards/forwards on the horizontal axis (pitch) |
 | Rotate left/right (roll) NB: if not locked by the camera up-vector. |
 | Rotate the model on the vertical axis (yaw) |
Note
In Panorama mode, use the 3D mouse as a joystick to rotate and zoom the view.
In Fly mode, use the 3D mouse as a joystick to navigate in the 3D scene. You can change the speed with G and H shortcut keys.
3D mouse shortcuts, if available on your mouse:
FIT to Zoom All.
Front/Top/Right (and Shift) to apply a Predefined Views.
Rotation+ to Rotate CW.
