Alternative rotation mode

Avatar
Saverio Costa

We would like to have a new way of rotating the view.
Different from the 2 available in EyeShot (Trackball and Turntable).
Wanting to use EyeShot instead of the previous cad, we would like the user to have as few changes as possible.
We would like a rotation method that is quite common in other cads, like the one in OnShape.

Thanks in advance.

    All other CAD and software i am using eyeshot can do all their styles. I do not know OnShape but either it's not common rotation at all like you speak or you simply don't know the rotation options. From all 3d engine i know that i used Eyeshot can mimic : SketchUp, Solidworks, NX, Revit, AutoCAD, SolidEdge, Maya, Rhino, 3D Max, Blender, Unity, UE, Ogre, Catia, Pro-E, Keyshot, Cinema 4D, FreeCAD, and Fusion 360.

    You have Trackball or TurnTable with or without invert mouse each. That is 4 modes total and mainly only 2 are ever used in all those application. Try with invert and it's probably what you are looking for

    Wow how many cads do you use, but maybe you don't understand.
    I mentioned OnShape, but it's the same as PTC Creo, SolidWorks, Fusion 360.
    Ogre 3D and Unity are not cad but Graphics Engines.
    I've already personally shown the developers what I mean, and it's different from the 2 available (Trackball and Turntable).

    Solidworks works differently than Creo and Fusion. Fusion and Creo use the same rotation as eyeshot by default. Solidworks you just need to invert the zoom.

    Hello Saverio,

    This workaround should work for your case.

    class MyDesign : Design
    {
        protected override void OnHandleCreated(EventArgs e)
        {
           base.OnHandleCreated(e);
        
           ActiveViewport.Rotate.RotationMode = rotationType.Turntable;
        }

        public override void RotateCamera(int dx, int dy)
        {
            ActiveViewport.Camera.GetFrame(out Point3D camOrg, out Vector3D camX, out Vector3D camY, out Vector3D camZ);

            Vector3D axis;
            double angle;

            axis = camX;
            angle = dy;
            RotateCamera(axis, -(angle / 2.0) * ActiveViewport.Rotate.Speed, false, false);
     
            axis = camY;
            angle = dx;
            RotateCamera(axis, -(angle / 2.0) * ActiveViewport.Rotate.Speed, false, false);
        }
    }

    Perfect, that's what we were looking for.
    Thank you!
