![]() I have been searching in vain for long to find an answer for this (also posted on the autodesk forums asking whether the middle mouse button could be reprogrammed to work on CAD-Revit-Max same as sketchup the replies I received were that it is hard-coded and this behavior cannot be changed).ĭoes anyone here at sketchucation also suffer from the same issue while working simultaneously on Revit/Max/AutoCAD and sketchup.? Also is there a way I could remap the middle mouse button with some external software.? Do please help out. Hence I have chosen to not use the space navigator for power sketchup use. I purchased the 3D connexion space navigator in a bid to somewhat mitigate the problem by navigating the 3d space with the left hand while clicking with the right, but since I use 99% of my design time working on keyboard shortcuts on all software (which I have coded almost common in between SU and Autodesk products), I am left with no way to control the keyboard if I am on the 3d connexion space navigator with my left hand. When I take my revit model to sketchup and vice versa, my brain has to re-program the usage pattern and most of the time I am panning when it is needed to orbit and a terrible frustration results. While SketchUp is designed to work with a standard 2-button mouse, modeling efficiency and speed could be greatly enhanced by adding favorite keyboard. After having been a long user of Sketchup over the years I have learnt that Sketchup way of assignment is more suited for productivity and ease of use, as one tends to orbit (& zoom) more, rather than pan, while navigating 3d space. While Sketchup uses Middle Mouse Button (MMB) drag to orbit and Shift+Drag to Pan, Revit-ACAD-Max do the exact opposite, MMB drag to Pan and Shift+Drag to Orbit. Unfortunately, the middle mouse button in sketchup and the other Autodesk software is EXACT OPPOSITE. Use the mouse settings and view tools to view models in the graphics area. My problem is this: - I work on models in both sketchup and Revit/ AutoCAD/ Max Design. Please pardon and point me to the right resource if one exists. Better late than never This is the rig I demoed on YouTube over a year ago, and it's mostly been collecting dust since then, partly because the way I'd made it kept the model from working for anyone but me. You can create custom shortcuts for Sketch by opening System Preferences, heading to Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and clicking the add button. ![]() I have been searching for quite some time now and could find no worthwhile solution links, hence this post. You can reassign a keyboard shortcut that already exists in SketchUp. I don't know if this has been posted / discussed elsewhere. If a shortcut is unavailable, SketchUp lets you know. ![]()
