Vectorworks Features

SpaceMouse

Target Camera Mode

The SpaceMouse cap controls the viewport (camera) in the context of what you are looking at (the target). You will orbit around what you are looking at (the center of your view).

Example:
Push the cap forward and your view moves into the scene. Push left and your view moves to the left. Twist the cap in any direction and your view will orbit around the view center.

Drone Mode

The SpaceMouse cap controls the viewport inside your scene. The viewport mirrors all movements of the cap. While moving forward when looking down, the viewport maintains its altitude over your scene, allowing you to ‘hover’ over it.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap to the right to pan your view to the right. Twist the cap right to turn your view to the right. Lift the cap to vertically move your view up. Push the cap forward while looking down to your scene and your view will move forward parallel to the ground.

Navigate the view without any rotation. The view moves in the same direction as the cap.
