I will probably write a follow-up article after I use the device extensively for a few months". I’ve included a few photos and video clips to help you make a decision if you’re contemplating on buying one. Aside from Revit, I also tested the device with Autodesk Inventor 2011, Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth. For Revit Architecture 2012 users, this article is about my experience with the SpacePilot PRO in the two weeks that I put it to various tests. This is 3Dconnexion’s top of the line model. Within a few days, I was contacted and informed that the company was sending me the SpacePilot PRO. I sent an email with my credentials and asked if I could evaluate and review their SpaceNavigator.
Not knowing anything about 3Dconnexion’s navigation devices, I contacted them. My thought then was to get hold of a unit and test it. The regular mouse, after all, does a good job as a navigation tool in Revit. Nonetheless, I was a little bit skeptical. A lot of product reviews by design engineers have affirmed their usefulness though. Although Autodesk is officially supporting 3Dconnexion’s products, I couldn’t find any information on how they are being used in Revit. In the film industry, they are used for navigation and visualization with popular animation software such as Maya, Alias, Blender, etc. Their products are popular in the manufacturing industry as navigation tools in CAD/CAM modeling and simulation applications. Apparently, they have been around since 2001. In the internet, I read a lot of articles and reviews concerning their product line. Anyway, here are my findings: The first thing I did was visit 3Dconnexion’s website to learn about their products. However, prior commitments prevented me from taking a look into it until last month. As a Revit beta tester, I was aware of this feature before this version was released.
I wasn’t asked to write this review nor was I compensated.) One of the new features of Revit Architecture 2012 is its support for 3Dconnexion devices. "The SpacePilot™ PRO _ a product review by Michael Anonuevo (Disclaimer: I am in no way connected to 3Dconnexion.
