SpaceMouse and CadMouse optimize 3D design of construction projects

3Dconnexion, a leading manufacturer of 3D input devices for CAD applications, announces a new partnership with Dicad. The collaboration will see 3Dconnexion‘s SpaceMouse, CadMouse, and Keyboard Pro products seamlessly integrated into Strakon software, enabling users to navigate and edit complex construction projects even more efficiently and intuitively.

With the SpaceMouse, Strakon users can smoothly rotate, move, and zoom their models in six degrees of freedom, while the standard mouse remains available for precise modeling. This significantly speeds up workflows and reduces mouse movements, especially for large-scale concrete and precast projects.

Highlights of the SpaceMouse in Strakon

Precise rotation and intelligent focus: The rotation point automatically adjusts as you zoom in closer to a component.

Simultaneous zooming, rotating, and moving: Quick overview of large components and seamless switching between overall view and detail.

Realistic sense of space: „Drone Mode“ allows free movement through the scene and facilitates understanding of complex structures.

Workflow integration: Key assignments directly in Strakon, context-sensitive radial menus, and automation of recurring work steps.

„Our mission at 3Dconnexion is to make working in 3D as pleasant and efficient as possible for CAD users,“ says Robert Stadie, Product Manager at 3Dconnexion. „The integration of our products into Strakon opens up a new dimension of 3D navigation for users and significantly increases their productivity.“

CAD specialist Oliver Meyer adds: „The combination of precise mouse control and free movement on all axes makes working on complex construction projects much easier. Our users benefit from a realistic sense of space and a smooth workflow.“

This partnership underscores 3Dconnexion‘s commitment to civil engineering and architecture. The goal is to support CAD users worldwide with innovative, user-friendly input devices.
