User guide

Viz Engine Administrator’s Guide

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 objects.

• Both: Controls both plugins and Viz 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 User’s Guide for the respective device.

Button options are:

• Object Control

• Pan Only

• Tilt Only

• Roll Only

• X Only

• Y Only

• Z Only

• Transformation Only

• Direction Only

• Zoom In

• Zoom Out

• Save Camera Values

• Retrieve Camera Values
