3Dconnexion 3D Mice Now Supported by
Google SketchUp 7 and Google SketchUp Pro 7
Fremont, Calif. - November 19, 2008 — 3Dconnexion’s award-winning line of 3D mice is now supported by the latest version of Google SketchUp and Google SketchUp Pro, allowing professionals and enthusiasts alike to create, modify and share 3D models with greater ease.
3Dconnexion’s 3D mice enable people working in the free version of Google SketchUp 7 to move effortlessly and with more control while creating various 3D models and buildings, as well as when designing rich 3D environments in Google Earth. And, for those users working in the new Google SketchUp Pro 7, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice provide a more streamlined design experience for 3D work that is exported into CAD, rendering and other professional software applications.
By pulling, pushing and tilting the 3D mouse cap, Google SketchUp users can simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D objects without stopping to select commands. A subtle increase or decrease in pressure accelerates or slows motion, enabling precise micro-adjustments.
