Trackpad
Rhinoceros > Preferences > Trackpad
The Trackpad options control how Rhino interacts with a trackpad.
In order to make best use of the trackpad in Rhino,
- In System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures, set Swipe between full screen apps to swipe left or right with four fingers.
- We want to reserve three-finger gestures for Rhino.
To set up Rhino commands on the trackpad
- In the Trackpad dialog box, turn on Use two fingers to pan and rotate views.
Two fingers will now rotate a perspective view.
Shift + two fingers will pan a perspective view.
Two finger pinch zooms a view.
- In the Swipe left with three fingers field enter _-Layer _Visible=_Toggle _Enter.
-
- In the Swipe right with three fingers field, enter ToggleObjectPropertiesPanel.
- In the Swipe up with three fingers field, enter ToggleOsnapPanelUnderCursor.
Now three different three finger swipe gestures will bring up panels.
Performing the same swipe gesture again dismisses the panel.
