UPDATE: Revit and 3D Connexion’s 3D Mice
Aug 23, 2009 Commentary, Revit
Hey All. A few days ago I posted about my desire for 3D Connexion’s 3D mice to work with Revit. The creator of Revit3D.com – BIMBoom Revitlution, Gregory Arkin responded with and update on this very issue:
On th3 3D Connexion issue, I’ve spoken to the Revit Project Manager and 3D Connexion directly. Below are my two blog posts and actions I’ve tried. I found out at AU last year that over 300 emails were sent to Autodesk and 3D Connexion demanding action. Bottom line from what I understand, the ball is in Autodesk’s court to do what’s needed for the mouse driver. I was hoping that 2010 would have solved the issue, but still no dice. Last year, the answer was that due to budgeting and resources, the mouse driver wasn’t a priority.
Did you know, Revit is the only major Autodesk product that’s not supported. Even AutoCAD Architecture can use the Space Mouse. I spoke to someone very high up on the development chain for Revit two weeks ago and still nothing’s being done to resolve the issue.

If anyone knows anything else or an Autodesk rep (or 3D Connexion) rep would like to comment, please let me know!
