MoI does support the Space Mouse from 3DConnexion. re: real world benefits - it's basically personal preference some people like them others do not.

MoI doesn't do textures and rendering, you would need to use a separate rendering program for that. A couple that you might check out are Octane, KeyShot, SimLab Composer or Blender. SimLab Composer has a free version that works well, that would probably be a good one to start out with.


< Will next version of Moi have this feature?

No probably not.> Any plans for basic CAD fill, such as hatches, dots, etc.?

I would like to implement these eventually but I don't know when it will happen. Currently if you need to do filled shapes you would need to do that in a different program.
