I am trying to get an SVG to move like an image but act like a hotspot. I want the SVG image to appear like it is fixed at a spot on the pano, and to distort as you move around. I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Does anyone have one built or suggestions?

Hi Neal,
Just select 3D distorted as seen in the Hotspot Template see: https://ggnome.com/doc/props-hotspot-te ... distortion

Thanks, but that doesn't give the effect that I want. I want it to look like it is part of the floor, wall or door. The 3D distortion make it appear to be floating separately from those items.

Hi Neal,
That’s what selecting 3D distortion will do.
Just to confirm the effect is the hotspot image appears pinned to the panorama and also distorted with it when you zoom in and out.
If your hotspot image does not do this then please check you are setting the correct thing.

The hot spot is being distorted in 3D, but not as if it is attached to the door, wall, floor, or entryway. The issue is there is no way to tell the system the orientation of the icon when placed. The images and poly-hotspot both have means of setting the orientation of the item. The items then move as part of the pano.

I figured out how to get around the issue I was having. I use an image to visually designate the hotspot, and then place a poly-hotspot over the top.

Hi Neal,
Glad you got a working solution, I was thinking of either using CSS or a patch, with the patch you can then draw your hotspot then as you have done using a polygon over it.
In the Images CSS Styles use:

Code: Select all

transform: rotateX(255deg);
This will flatten it out,
Patch, image and poly is the fastes way.
