How to change Space Navigator default mode?

cerevellum · 2 Mar 2011, 17:23

Hello,

Anyone know how to change the mode that the Space Navigator defaults to in SketchUp?

Currently each time SketchUp is opened it defaults to "Object" mode and I would prefer it to default to "Camera" mode.

Thanks mates!

If you have changed any default buttons, the small button on the right side will pull up a config menu.

I usually disable rolling and center rotation on selection.

When I pull up the Space Navigator config menu with SketchUp it is different from the global menu. The SketchUp config menu offers speed, navigation mode (Object, Camera, Helicopter) and several other settings.

I would like it to default to Camera mode, which is like how the Space Navigator works in Google Earth.

Thanks again,
Zach

Under the plugins menu there s a 3dxSketchUp menu item that should get you to the settings.

They seem to stick once you set them.

best,

Hmm, I must have a bigger issue, since I do not have that menu under plugins!

I'll work through this. I knew something was awry with my setup!

The toolbar doesn't load on my system anymore either -- it could be a issue with Sketchup 8 or is could be they messed up something in the newest drivers.

Best,
Jason.
