The SpaceNavigator 3D mouse provides building design professionals greater efficiency by offering precise control and coordination of 3D models within Allplan. With SpaceNavigator, architects and designers can better view and edit 2D drafts or 3D designs when creating virtual 3D building models, improving workflow and speeding up the design process. Unlike mice confined to motion on two flat planes, theSpaceNavigator 3D mouse allows effortless movement and control within the 3D workspace of Allplan. By simply moving the controller cap, a 3D CAD professional can simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate without stopping to select commands.An increase in pressure accelerates motion while a decrease in pressure slows motion for precise micro-adjustments. “The support of free movement in a 3D model is becoming more and more standard in the CAD world,” said Holger Schiffers, product manager, Architecture, Nemetschek. “With this collaboration by Nemetschek and 3Dconnexion, we are enabling our customers to realize even greater value from the virtual building model.” “With the support for SpaceNavigator by Nemetschek, architects and designers are able to acquire advanced control of 3D objects for precise maneuvering of models when creating virtual buildings,” said Ziva Nissan, 3Dconnexion’s director of product marketing. “The addition of Allplan to 3Dconnexion’s burgeoning roster of supported applications expands our effort to provide an ergonomic and affordable design tool for leading 3D applications across multiple market segments.” 3Dconnexion enhances the 3D design experience, providing advanced and affordable products that are supported by more than 100 of today’s most popular 3D applications, including Autodesk® Maya®, Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended, Cinema 4D, form•Z, and all of the top-tier 3D CAD applications. Pricing and Availability Nemetschek Allplan 2008 supports 3Dconnexion’s SpaceNavigator on Windows® XP, Windows Vista®. SpaceNavigator Personal Edition (MSRP $59) and SpaceNavigator Standard Edition (MSRP $99) are available from major online resellers including Amazon, CDW, Dell, and PC Mall as well as directly at www.3Dconnexion.com.
