I’m not getting any action with the Space Mouse (Wireless, Win11) in the new WIP. I just upgraded my 3dxware also, so it could be that, but it is working properly in Rhino 8. I’m also getting an Unknown Command when I try to use the SpaceMouse command.

Mine is set to False. Changing it to True and restarting the WIP restores SpaceMouse functionality.

You’re not alone! Already raised in URGENT! Space Mouse isn't working after latest build

Thanks for reporting this. We have indeed been mucking about with the SpaceMouse integration in the RhinoWIP. I’m curious: If you go to to Options > Advanced and find the Rhino.Options.SpaceBall.UseLegacy what value is it set to? true or false?

Thanks for verifying that. Yeah, clearly we have more work to do on the Windows side. We’re going to respect non-default options values going forward - ie: we won’t ignore that change from false to true :crossed_fingers: - so once we get this plugin loading sorted out you might have to opt-in to …

Would be great if you could make that fix fairly prominent, whenever it is implemented. Maybe checking on false / true and suggesting the change? Or just clearly pointing it out. Or simply resetting to true on every build? I’m afraid this might go unnoticed, whenever you get the shiny new stuff …

It seems to me that rotation (roll) of the space mouse is still ignored in WIP even after the workaround. I’m clicking enable/disable in the app and it doesn’t seem to matter… [image] But maybe it’s because I’ve been forced to Factory Reset my WIP a number of times and forgotten how I enabled rol…

Do you have the horizon unlocked? _SpaceMouse Popup_Menu: [image]

Thanks… but who thought this UX was helpful in any way??? [image] [image] Oh, and Rhino 9 seems to be inverted compared to V8 right now? Plus, the 3DConnexion app is missing the “navigation modes”… [image] [image]

[image] eobet: who thought this UX was helpful in any way? The guys who wrote Rhino 6. Prior to that there were SpaceMouse settings in Options. [image] eobet: 3DConnexion app is missing the “navigation modes” Yes, it just shows the standard 3dConnexion options, not the Rhino tailored …

I think the inversion issue is just because the spacemouse itself uses camera/dolly mode as default, with object mode just being the same with everything inverted

Control direction reversal of Space Mouse / SpaceMouse after updating V9 WIP may be due to the “mode” having changed. To switch mode go to SpaceMouse > Popup_Menu [image]

Same positive restoration of the Spacemouse,
Set Options > Advanced and find the Rhino.Options.SpaceBall.UseLegacy from false to true and restarted.
