Is there any way I can combine multiple tours into one. I have 4 tours and I have to merge/combine them into one tour.
There are almost 70 nodes in total. Main problem is Adding hotspots again for all of these panoramas as it is really time taking process.
Please! Help

So far i have tried to link tours together using Area hotspot.
4 tours linked by area hotspot > URL > html file of another tour. But can i call html file with panorama of my choice? like when user viewing tour1 clicks on area hotspot and tour2.html loads with panorama of my choice?

or is there any other way of combining multiple tours into one. There are 4 tours in total. One tour is a 360 walk on a trail and other tours that were made later on are monuments situated on the trail.

Hi imme,
For now you can add many input images and using direct node access you can open at any image.
Example, add six input images. Link the first three with point hotspots, then link the second three with hotspot.
You now have two three node tours in one project.
The index html page will open node one for tour one.
but then use direct node access to open node4 directly to open with the start node of tour two.

DNA URL example.
www.yourweb.com/panoramas/index.html = opens the first node of tour one
www.yourweb.com/panoramas/index.html#node4 = opens the first node of tour two

When you hover over the tour browser you get information, if turned on in settings you will also see node id.
To turn this on go to Pano2VR Settings/Preferences => Advanced tab, then under the heading Tour Browser select Show internal node ID.

Regards,
Hopki

Thanks Hopki. Great support as always. It worked like charm.

1. Enabled Direct node access in projects output > html settings
2. Enable "show internal node id" in Pano2vr settings.
3. Mouse hover over panoramas shows node id and can access any tour html with selected node. Just add #node1 or desired node
From tour 1 I added an area hotspot and selected type URL and typed tour2.html#node4 where node4 is the node i want to play when clicked on area hotspot.

it worked and really thankful. (Just documented steps above for anyone looking same type of solution)

Hello Martin,

And how can we combine 60+ projects. They are already made and live in individual folders. They are Google tours and we also want to host them ourselves with just a map in the skin so you can move from business to business via the map. I thought I saw an 'add project' on a right clic in the tour browser but I cannot find it anymore, must be my mistake.

If you right-click in the Tour Browser panel you get the options: Add Panorama - Add Project - Edit Master Node

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes, that is what I previous saw and was looking for. Apparently it was not visible when no panorama's are added or something similar like not saved the project. I don't know but I got it now, thanks.
