If you insist that your suggested solution is the one then iвЂ™m all earsвЂ¦ download the rhino beta (itвЂ™s free to use for now) which has trackpad support/customization, familiarize yourself with navigating a model using the trackpad, then come back and show how youвЂ™ve set up magicprefs in order to make sketchup act the same wayвЂ¦ iвЂ™d be way willing to use a 3rd party solutionвЂ¦ if it actually works rightвЂ¦ and working right doesnвЂ™t include вЂњyeah, same thing as using two finger orbiting except you need to use four fingers while holding shift/cmmdвЂќ вЂ¦that type of solution is already available in sketchup itself so no need to use an outside utility just to get a different though equally convoluted setup. I understand that youвЂ™re saying вЂhey, hereвЂ™s something that i like to use and maybe youвЂ™ll like it tooвЂ™ and thatвЂ™s coolвЂ¦ but at the same time, please donвЂ™t get offended when someone else says 'no, i donвЂ™t like using thatвЂ¦ for one- it simply wonвЂ™t do what i need it to' or ' itвЂ™s buggy when i try to use it as suggested' Meanwhile, there are other 3D modeling applications which do provide support for apple magic devices so people that have tried these other apps know itвЂ™s possible to do in sketchupвЂ¦ and thatвЂ™s what the feature request is asking for вЂ“ for sketchUp.app to obtain support for apple trackpads and mice.

This is sketchupвЂ™s вЂofficialвЂ™ feature request forum and a trimble developer is directly engaged in the thread.ДЄnd my point is more to them instead of you that magicprefs (nor better touch tool nor any of the 3rd party utilities that iвЂ™ve tried over the years ) is not capable of offering a proper solution to the problem of navigating a sketchup model with appleвЂ™s hardware.ДЄnd also, a little more history since youвЂ™ve just joined yesterday and have only posted in this one thread- this forum is the 5th(?) incarnation of an official or semi-official sketchup forumвЂ¦ i canвЂ™t link to the old topics as theyвЂ™ve disappeared but iвЂ™ve been asking for apple trackpad support in sketchup since my 2003 powerbookвЂ¦ the support hasnвЂ™t come in 10 years time and maybe itвЂ™s just a bit frustrating for someone to come along and say вЂhey, hereвЂ™s one word and itвЂ™s the solution!вЂ™ when really, itвЂ™s not the solutionвЂ¦ iвЂ™ve tried 3rd party offering (probably more than you) over and over with each new release and none have worked well yetвЂ¦ I get it that you think iвЂ™m attacking you or being a jerk or whatever but from my side, thereвЂ™s more to it than that.

MagicPrefs does not install any kernel extensions not it otherwise have impact on your system while it is not running or disabled, it is not a driver per se, it just monitors the Apple multitouch driver built in OS X to get information about the touches on the mouse, stopping or disabling it totally removes any impact on the system as it stops all monitoring, as for the mouse tracking settings they are changed in real time in the os, to recover them to default values all you have to do is use the Apple mouse preference pane.ДЇurthermore the core of the application runs separately from the user interface which can be found in a System Preferences prefpane, from which even the menubar icon can be disabled for more transparence.And, iвЂ™m sure you see that вЂњmagic mouseвЂќ are the first two words of the thread title.ДidnвЂ™t realize I should only be reading the first two words of a thread title. MagicPrefs is a application meant to run in the background all the time, it uses less than 1.5% CPU and is optimized for a minimal impact on system performance.

Tracking Speed adds the ability to increase the maximum mouse speed by an extra 200%.ДЄlso featured is a real-time display of the fingers touching the surface of the mouse that you can enable to test and monitor the way the mouse sees your input. Touch Sensitivity implements a single point control for a number of factors impacting the algorithms of the taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures. It features the ability to bind a variable number of finger clicks, taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures to functions like Middle Click, Hold Down Both Mouse Buttons, Spaces, Expose, Dashboard, Recent Applications, Tweet, Read Tweets, Google Reader etc.

MagicPrefs is a free application for OS X which aims to improve the functionality and configuration options of the Apple Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and the MacBook glass trackpad.
