I am jealous. I ran UG(sorry will always be UG to me) for 15 years and didn't ever experience it in 3D. I did immediately fall in love with the spaceballs/3d controllers. I added the initial 3d controller support in FreeCAD years ago. If you are spaceball curious: https://spacemice.org/index.php?title=Gallery

Nice addition!

Don't be sorry. Tons of users call it UG. Yeah, I had an airplane model to play with and built a fair number of surfaces.

It works well. Space X has a nice 3D setup.
