NavisWorks & Spaceball 4000 FLX

NavisWorks & Spaceball 4000 FLX

(OP)
My boss just loaded NavisWorks on my PC. I have a SpaceBall 400FLX & would like to "fly" NavisWorks with it. I can't find drivers... I looked on www.3dconnexion.com & also the NavisWorks site.

NavisWorks has the ability to pass thru objects, so I can actually "stand" inside my model. But I'm not crazy about "flying" with a mouse.

Anybody have any ideas?

RE: NavisWorks & Spaceball 4000 FLX

Never heard of this Navisworks - What is it some type of CAD or movie type os app?

If there are not drivers at www.3dconnexion.com then your out of luck because they are the supporters of the piece of hardware and if they don't have drivers I can't think of anyone else that would.

Try contacting 3dconnexion and ask them directly.

I think it's primarily a model viewer. It reads multiple file formats & you have several different ways of manipulating & walking or flying thru the model. Also you can save as simple animations. I'm just beginning to play with it...

TateJ,

I also believe it can do photorealistic rendering.  It's actually a nice piece of software.
