Hi,
I have a screen in my tour, which is in the image itself.
I want an iframe placed to that screen. I have multiple of those screens, so i want to just create the polygon, insert the url to $(hd) and let the skin handle the rest.

i found a solution using a regular hotspot, but its really tedious and a new hotspot element has to be created for each screen in the skin. I'd like to avoid that.
So now my question is: can i somehow change the content of the polygon hotspot to the iframe?

Hi,
The attached project uses one Hotspot template with a text box.
All you do is add the iframe or just URL in the Point Hotspots description text filed.
The Point Hotspot has the action to load the iframe on project open, but you could also use am Mouse Click.

In my example, I am using a Node Changed action to load the iframes on project open, I am also using the YouTube embed codes so it's easier to just copy and paste the full code in the point hotspots description text field.
Then the Hotspot Temp[late has an action to set the embed code into its text box. Each point h
But you could add the iframe to the action and replace the src= with the placeholder $(hd).
Regards,

Hi Hopki,
The Problem is, that the screens in our image are a bit higher up in the image, so when i put the Hotspot higher up, it gets distorted:

id like to have it not 3D distorted. It should be just a rectangle facing straight forward and not towards me. Also the height,width are always a bit diffent. Thats why i'd like to have a the iframe on the surface of a polygon hotspot.

Hi,
As your using a Point Hotspot you don't have the setting as you would with pinned media.
However you can use CSS, please see this website: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit. ... rspective1
I have only had a quick look, you can use the Text Box CSS.
