FREMONT, CA – 3Dconnexion announced that its award-winning 3D mice are now supported by Bentley Systems’ V8i software portfolio. The portfolio includes MicroStation V8i, MicroStation PowerDraft V8i, and Bentley View V8i. 3Dconnexion 3D mice integrate seamlessly into the latest features in V8i, including conceptual design and dynamic views, and bring new capabilities for more intuitive interaction and control.

Unlike mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice enable design engineers to move in all three dimensions simultaneously, using six degrees of freedom. By gently lifting, pressing and turning the controller, users working in V8i can easily navigate 3D objects without stopping to select commands. In addition, an Auto Level View feature minimizes camera tilt to enable an optimal viewing angle for design visualization, and a customized tool bar allows design engineers to control each navigation mode within the application.

In the V8i platform’s new conceptual design tool, architects and design engineers can easily use 3Dconnexion 3D mice to pan, zoom and rotate to view complex surfaces and solids throughout the form modeling process. Users can also effortlessly move within a scene in the dynamic views feature to render elements and map textures with live views of the model, creating photo-realistic images without stopping to select keyboard commands.
