      I am having a problem with the toolbar for my 3D Space Navigator. I can't figure out why the
      Center of Rotation button seems to be in a permanent state of grayed out. Does anyone have
      an idea as to what is wrong. I am running SU 7 and have confirmed I have the latest drivers loaded for the Navigator

        I believe all you have to do is click the button to the left(Camera Mode).

        Then you will be moving the object as opposed to moving the camera.

            The problem is the button is grayed out so when I click it nothing happens. I tried to set
            the center of rotation in the pull down menu in the plugins menu and didn't have any luck there either.

            Karl - Thanks for posting on the 3D Connexion Forum. Let me know if you hear anything back.

              Hallo John,

              the problem seems to be a small bug in the ruby script. To solve the problem, first remove all check marks in the plugins --> 3DxSketchup menu. Then activate "toggle toolbar" and it will work. And for further works use only the toolbar and not the menu.

                Thanks Karl, that did the trick. I appreciate your help tremendously.

                Do you have a specific configuration you use for the Navigator? I sure
                could use some help with any suggestions on the best way to configure it
                for a Navigator newbie.

                Regards,

                John

                  At present i use the standard configuration in Sketchup i adjusted only the speed. Maybe if you use different 3D applications it could be necessary to create a configuration for a specific application which differs from the standard controls.
