3D Mouse Guide
Tekla Structures 2016 is compatible with the following 3D mice provided by 3Dconnexion:
SpaceNavigator, SpaceExplorer, and SpacePilot.
The main features of the 3D mice are:
You can simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate models and objects on your screen.
The 3D mouse controller cap easily rotates in six directions.
You can use the 3D mouse in conjunction with an ordinary wheel mouse.
For example, you can use one hand to control the wheel mouse, and the other hand to control
the 3D mouse.
You can easily customize the functionality of the 3D mouse.
3D mice have programmable buttons that you can map to the most frequently used Tekla
Structures commands. You can change the function of each button at any time.

Alternatively, you can store the configuration file in a common
folder so that it is available for all users in your company. To do this,
save the configuration file on a network drive and add the following
line at the end of the user.ini file:
set
XS_DIRECTINPUT_CONFIG=<configuration_file_location>
For example:
set
XS_DIRECTINPUT_CONFIG=Z:\Common_files\DirectInput.cfg

3 Changing the 3D mouse settings
This section describes how to map the mouse buttons, and how to change the sensitivity and
direction of the axes.
Example The following example shows the SpaceExplorer configuration file. The button with the identifier
ID=1 is not being used in this example.
Available commands
The following Tekla Structures commands can be used with 3Dconnexions 3D mice:
Command Description
BUTTON_INFO See Checking mouse button identifiers (10).
BUTTON_SET_VIEW_POINT Relocates the center of rotation.
BUTTON_ZOOM_ORIGINAL Restores the original level of zoom.
BUTTON_PAN_UP Moves the viewpoint downwards.
BUTTON_PAN_LEFT Moves the viewpoint to the right.
BUTTON_PAN_RIGHT Moves the viewpoint to the left.
BUTTON_PAN_DOWN Moves the viewpoint upwards.
BUTTON_ZOOM_IN Zooms in.
BUTTON_ZOOM_OUT Zooms out.
BUTTON_DECREASE_FOV Decreases the field of view in perspective
view.
BUTTON_INCREASE_FOV Increase the field of view in perspective view.
5. Repeat step 4 for each button whose identifier you want to check.
Command Description
AXIS_ROTATE_Z Sets the rotation speed for rotation around Z.
AXIS_ROTATE_X Sets the rotation speed for rotation around X.
AXIS_PAN_X Sets the panning speed for axis X.
AXIS_PAN_Y Sets the panning speed for axis Y.
AXIS_ZOOM Sets the sensitivity and the direction of the
zoom axis towards the mouse pointer inside
the model view.
AXIS_ZOOM_CENTERED Sets the sensitivity and the direction of the
zoom axis towards center of model view.
Example In the following example, the sensitivity of the zoom axis is 21.1. To increase the sensitivity, enter a
lower value.
Example In the following example, the original rotation speed is 1.0. The value 2.0 would double the speed,
and 0.5 would lower it to half of the original.
Example In the following example, the direction of the zoom axis is -1.0, which means the mouse zooms in
when you press the cap and zooms out when you lift the cap. To reverse the direction, change the
value to 1.0.
