Thank you. Yes I see this but unfortunately Rhino is not recognizing my
buttons. When I press one of my additional mouse buttons, none of the
command input areas/the field lights up to show me which button is
linked to that input box. When I put an input in one of the field boxes
(I used ALT in the button 4) to see if I could figure out what mouse
button it is linked to, none of the mouse buttons that I pressed became
that key.

Anyway, I went into Rhino Preferences and cannot figure it out. Thanks for any help you can give me, I am anxious to get going with Rhino!
if you go Rhinoceros-> Preferences-> Mouse-> Buttons
then click your various mouse buttons while the cursor is over the dialog, do any of the button names (button4, button4, etc) highlight in yellow?
if so, these are the buttons you’ll be able to assign commands to.
LOOK:
left button for Click, the Right button for Return, the middle button (scroll wheel button or one of 2 thumb buttons can be used in the case of the Logitech Marathon Mouse) that pops up a OSNAP menu so I can select what I want to snap to and my mouse does not have to move from the work space area in the drawing I am working on to do so.
in rhino, the left button is already click and the right one is return… for the osnap functionality you’re describing, there’s a mac rhino command _ToggleOsnapPanelUnderCursor …so when you’re in the mouse button preferences, if one of the buttons highlight yellow, put that command in the field for the button then when you click the button in rhino, the osnap panel will toggle on/off under your cursor.

January 23I have the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 that I have seen other users on the forum discussing and using. I would like to configure it and I see this explanation. I have the same question but need a much more basic step by step answer starting with using the Logitech Control Panel ie. what I should set each mouse control to…and then the Rhino preferences ie. how to get to them and what to set each one to. I am an absolute Rhino beginner using the test version of RHINO for MAC. I would like to set up the same button gestures I use AutoCAD because they are so automatic for me. In AutoCAD I have the left button for Click, the Right button for Return, the middle button (scroll wheel button or one of 2 thumb buttons can be used in the case of the Logitech Marathon Mouse) that pops up a OSNAP menu so I can select what I want to snap to and my mouse does not have to move from the work space area in t! he drawin g I am working on to do so. Anyway, I went into Rhino Preferences and!

June 12Thank you for this, Marlin. I’ll try again when I get a chance to play. I think I had tried your suggestion but can’t now recall for sure. For now LCC is uninstalled and I do still get 7 buttons in Mac Rhino with the Performance MX by default…pretty good all things considered! Wheel Left, Wheel Right, and Tilt…just gluttony perhaps .

Correct. Sorry for not including an illustration. A method to determine the space illustrated in yellow above would make Top edge practical on the primary screen. Not being a programmer, however, I take your word for it. Sounds exotic. Makes useful sense for a secondary screen, and consistency is logical.
Indeed! Uncanny timing. Just yesterday my trusty approx. decade old top of the line (at the time) Logitech died. Ran out and bought a LOGITECH PERFORMANCE MOUSE MX as replacement. Per Logitech’s web site it has 9 buttons. My question is - how many can I make usable in Mac Rhino?
So, without Logitech Control Center installed, beyond left/right/middle(wheel down) clicks, Rhino automatically responds to the indicated Performance MX button numbers shown below.
.Trying to get Rhino to recognize the remaining buttons, which are wheel left, wheel right, and “tilt.” (Logitech calls “mouse tilt” a button…and that equals 10 buttons total per my math???) I installed Logitech Control Center. With LLC installed I could not get Rhino to respond to anything beyond left/right/middle in the default config. I created a Rhinoceros application config in LCC and played around with several settings for the buttons without success…Rhino recognized nothing beyond left/right/middle until I uninstalled LCC.
It is quite possible, however, that I did not try hard enough, missed something, etc… I wanted to ask first before continuing to bang my head.
Thank you!
With the Logitech Control center, you want to assign actions to the different mouse buttons. Assign the Advanced Click action to each of the extra buttons, then pick a button number greater than 3. Button 1 is the left mouse button, button 2 is the right mouse button, and button 3 is the middle mouse button.
Logitech allows you to assign button numbers up to 8, so you are restricted (by Logitech) to a maximum of 8 different mouse buttons.
