Pan the model using trackpad

Added by Adriano Neves almost 3 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way of panning the IFC model view using a trackpad? I've tried many key modifiers on a Macbook Pro but none seemed to work and I can't find a manual way of activating pan mode. 

Thanks

Hi Adriano Neves, your finding is correct. Currently the IFC viewer (we use Xeokit BIM Viewer) supports panning with a real mouse pressing the right button. People argue that when having a mouse, pressing the scroll wheel would be the right gesture for panning. On touch interfaces like mobile phones it support two finger panning (though not really nicely). On a Macbook that I had laying around I cannot pan. There it is a touchpad with no explicit right click or mousewheel click. I coldn't even tell what would be the correct combination. CTRL+Click, oder SHIFT+CLICK? Or two finger panning as on mobile? Please feel free to create a feature request here https://community.openproject.org/projects/xeokit/work_packages. Please add your expected behaviour (and, if you can,  please add examples of other web based viewers that do it well). Thank you!

Hi Wieland, 

I will do so, thank you for the information. 

In any case, right now:

 - 3-finger drag will rotate/pivot

 - 2-finger drag will zoom

I think the best way of doing is probably Shift+(3-finger drag), bit that's just my opinion. 

Thanks
