3Dconnexion 3D mice & Google SketchUp™

3Dconnexion has added 3D mouse support for Google SketchUp™ 8 & SketchUp Pro 8. 3Dconnexion 3D mice provide SketchUp users with advanced control of their designs and workspace for increased productivity when modelling buildings, furniture, appliances, cars and more.

Whether designing in context, creating a shadow study or photo-modelling existing models, 3Dconnexion 3D mice allow SketchUp designers to move more intuitively and with precise control. 3D mice give SketchUp users a level of design interaction that is unattainable with a traditional mouse and keyboard.

Benefits include:

Superior navigation: Allows SketchUp designers to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate as if they are holding the model or camera in their hand. 3D mice also give designers working in SketchUp Pro 8 more intuitive control of new Solid Tools modeling operations for creating, editing or validating multiple shapes
Precise control: Patented six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) sensor is capable of detecting input as small as four micrometers for smooth and natural control of a sketch or complex 3D model
Improved efficiency: Programmable buttons provide quick access to commonly used application commands, enabling SketchUp designers to focus more on their models
Intelligent 3D navigation: Sets the centre of rotation to a point on the model that is nearest to the display screen centre, which is helpful at higher zoom levels, or SketchUp users can pick a new centre of rotation point for an individual design task

The entire 3Dconnexion product line is compatible with SketchUp 8, including the Professional Series with the SpacePilot PRO (MSRP £299) and SpaceExplorer™ (MSRP £199), and the Standard Series with the SpaceNavigator (MSRP £99) and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (MSRP £99).
