Can one use the orbit tool with precision?
-
Are you talking about when you are working on the model or do you want to be able to show this type of move to others?
-
When I'm working on it.

Like this?
-
But it is easier with a spacemouse.

I guess it'll be two years again for the next installment.

One must have a spacemouse to constrain the rotation?

Drag exactly horizontally.
-
My first gif shows me simply using orbit with the the middle mouse button. No tricks or fancy hardware. Just click and drag horizontally.

Box, I have a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. The middle wheel button doesn't do anything. I suppose that I need to get a different mouse. Thank you for your advice.

That begs the question, how long have you been using SU without a working navigation system.
You may only need to adjust the mouse settings. Find the settings for the mouse and set the wheel to Middle Mouse click or equivalent. -
I don't know. It still doesn't work for me. See attached.

Can you make the middle button do anything? Even in a different application? A while back I taught a SketchUp class in a school where they provided the computer. The Microsoft mouse they had required an awful lot of pressure to get that button to work. I wound up bringing in my own wireless mouse and using it instead.

What mouse do you use?
-
I use Logitech mice on both my Mac and PC. Different models neither of which I can remember. The one I use on the Mac was the least expensive wireless Logitech mouse I could get locally. The other came with a wireless keyboard.
-
Generally the cheapest simple three button scroll wheel mouse possible.
The more you pay the more the drivers can screw things up. The more the ergonomics can set the scroll wheel too far down to be an easy orbit without hitting the other buttons etc etc -
Hi folks.
I use a Logitech wireless mouse on my Mac. I did not install the driver that came with it. The Mac OS Mouse driver does the job very well.
If you use a driver, usually, you assign the scroll wheel as button 3.
Just ideas.

Box, I got a new mouse. The middle button works, but I can't orbit precisely.

?Just click the left button,the right button, or the middle button?

When I click using the middle button, it is not constrained. I can't keep the blue axis line at 12:00 6:00. I have a new mouse.
