Extra Mouse Buttons

pignoodle · 27 Jan 2015, 02:42

I was wondering if I could bind the pan tool to one of the extra buttons on my mouse. Having a three button mouse is amazing so you can use the orbit tool while using other tools. I like to look around a lot to see different perspectives when I making something so it helps a lot. The orbit and zoom tools are hard to move around freely by themselves, but often require the pan tool, but sadly this is not bound to a mouse button. I know that you can do shift+middle, but I really don't like that. This would almost impossible to bind another tool to a normal three button mouse because it has used all of it's buttons, but i have a gaming mouse with about 3 extra buttons.

the "H" on the keyboard starts Pan, so I would imagine you configure the mouse button to this..

edit...however press the left button while in orbit activates pan

personally, I would make that other hand do some work

I was about to post the same question..

Ive read that you can change it in the setup of your mouse but not in SketchUp itself.
i don't have a mouse with specialty drivers so its just basic options for me, maybe your gaming mouse might have more luck.

Does no one have an answer for this?

Got this figured out by a user on reddit, download x-mouse and remap the buttons. if you need help let me know.
Cheers
