[chimerax-users] 3Dconnexion

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Difei,

  To turn on the space navigator in ChimeraX use ChimeraX command

	device snav on

There also some options to control its speed and movement mode described in the documentation

	https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/device.html#snav <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/device.html#snav>

I justed tried it in ChimeraX 1.3 on a Mac laptop and it worked fine.  You can add the above command to be run every time you start ChimeraX using Preferences / Startup.

  In Chimera there was no command to turn the space navigator on or off, it was always on if plugged in.

	Tom
