Well, similarly this is the first time in two decades that I hear someone lacks a right mouse click but that's alright - we'll get this working. I've asked around a bit and it seems like in the settings of MacOS you can set the trackpad to have a right click in the bottom corner, have you tried setting this up?

On the pages for purchasing Asset Forge it's listed that because the software is completely DRM-free we don't give refunds unless there's a technical issue with Asset Forge. So we'll first need to investigate if this is indeed due to a technical issue. If you like to start a refund procedure please e-mail to support@kenney.nl.

Edit: A few people tried and on their Macbook the rotating worked, they were using two fingers on the trackpad - have you tried that?

I would love to get this working, rather than get a refund! I have several 3D packages on my Mac, and usually some combination of Ctrl Opt or Cmd works to pan, zoom, rotate etc, depending on the specific implementation. So I've tried all the usual suspects. I have not yet tried hard-setting a right click on the track pad. Let me try that and let you know how it went. Thanks for the tip!

No problem, again if this is a technical issue that I can resolve I'd love to and update Asset Forge. Since several users said it works for them I think this might be an issue related to your right click use (the CTRL + click) which Asset Forge probably doesn't register as a right click, so you'll have to get the trackpad right click working - if not then I guess that's a technical oversight on my part. Let me know if you'd still like a refund if this doesn't end up working.

Awesome! Giving the explicit setting for "Secondary Click" works! Thanks for your time on this; very much appreciated! I will note, however, that Ctrl-Click on the trackpad works pretty universally on the Mac as a right click. It has for _years_ on every other app, browser, etc etc in my experience. Thanks again!

That's great to hear, thanks for getting back to me on this! :)

Thank you for being so responsive! I realized also that the trackpad Ctrl-click for a right-click has worked from the beginning for me with Unity. I hadn't realized that Asset Forge was built in Unity :)
