Spaceball
The Spaceball section is used to configure a 3D navigation device.
-
SpaceBall Mode: Sets special setups where the spaceball should only control specific plugins without influencing the scene (objects/camera):
-
None: No setup.
-
Plugin: Controls plugins.
-
Viz: Controls Viz Artist/Engine objects.
-
Both: Controls both plugins and Viz Artist/Engine objects.
-
-
Object Control:
-
None: No setup.
-
Selected: Modifies only the selected object.
-
-
Button Mode:
-
None: No setup.
-
Pressed: When set to Pressed, this mode will trigger an action like a button in a user interface.
-
Toggle: When set to Toggle, this mode will set a state. For example when a button is pressed only the dominant axis will be considered in a move, whereas when the button is released all movements are applied.
-
The numeric fields are used to map the various buttons on the 3D navigation device. This varies by the vendor and the vendors model; hence, the button numbers need to be looked up in the Viz Artist User Guide for the respective device.
