To use 3D motion controller functionality, you must have a 3D motion controller device connected.

When a 3D motion controller is connected, you can position the cursor at any point on the model and use the 3D motion controller functionality to move the model about the X, Y, and Z axes. You can also program (map) the 3D motion controller mouse buttons to any function by using the software that came with it.
