Using a Space Pilot with Synchro 4D

Post by Martin.Lawson »

Hi, Is there a way of getting my Space Pilot to work with Synchro 4D?
Synchro 4D is a 3D planning application, similar to Autodesk NavisWorks and is used widely within my company Balfour Beatty.

Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin.Lawson,

you can find a list of supported applications on our website. Synchro 4D is not (yet) listed.

In order to use it with 3Dconnexion devices, support for 3D devices would need to be added inside this software. Adding 3D device support to an application is determined by the application developer rather than by 3Dconnexion. We have an SDK [Development Kit] which any software developer can download at no cost and which allows the integration of 3D device support in proprietary software. Please see here for more details.

We advise our customers to contact the Customer Service of applications that are lacking support and request it be added in future versions of their software. The decision to include 3D support in their development schedule is often influenced by the level of customer interest.

I recommend that you contact Synchro Software Ltd./Bentley Systems Inc. and express your wish to make clear that this is a demand from their customers.
