Rhino 4.0 Support?

Post by dragginthru »

After upgrading from Rhino 3.0 to 4.0, I noticed that my Space Pilot doesnt do anything beyond rotate. I have lost the ability to configure my buttons, views, and worst of all, the "fit" button no longer works.

I have the latest drivers as well.

Is there any support for Rhino 4.0 lurking around the corner in a future driver release? If so, is it possible to make the 'delete' key mappable? I could never get it to map in Rhino 3.0.

Thanks

Hello Mr. Shepard,

There's a good chance they have changed the name of their executable again. If the driver doesn't load your Rhino configuration, open the Rhinoceros.scg file under en_us/profiles/default in the 3DxWare directory and change the EXECUTABLES name to rhino4.exe. Then restart the driver (and Rhino).

Let us know if this helps.

Hey Thanks!

It worked out. One more quick question.... Is there a line that I can add somewhere in the Rhinoceros config file to possibly make the delete key able to be mappable to one of the top 6 buttons on my SpacePilot?

Thanks again,

I just installed Rino 4.0, clean (no upgrade) and I am having no button support issues too. But I can't seem to find that folder to make these changes.

Hi Firebert85,

the configuration file for Rhino - Rhinoceros.scg - is located in the installation directory of the 3DxSoftware:
  • C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxWare\en_us\profiles\default
