      Screen Shot 06-24-14 at 11.08 AM.PNGI've been using SN in SU for a bit, it's been really helpful. I'd read a few people's experience about it being really jumpy/overshooting, and I thought I must have superior eye-hand coordination ... until I switched from Parallel to Perspective. Then it became completely uncontrollable, flying through walls inadvertently etc. I often edit in Parallel, so this isn't a deal breaker, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do? I saw some mentions of a 3dConnexions' extension, but I think that may be outdated. The only control interface I have is the 3dConnexions control panel in my system tray, which I currently have set up like this (actually I've unclicked "dominant" now):

        Well, I see now that "locking horizon" really helps control in Perspective mode, though I like the flexibility of an unlocked horizon in Parallel mode. Maybe I'll get used to it.

          Hey Keithwins.

          Try useing Camera mode with locked Horizon.
          That's my favorite setting and really comfortable to work with.

          Greetings Erwin

            How do you set the mode? (e.g.; camera mode)
            My Advanced Mode looks very different.

                Unfortunately that's for an earlier driver version.
                The big thing is that the new version does not even have the choices for Navigation Modes in Advanced Settings!! 🤢
