Hi!
I'm fairly new to P2VR and I'm putting together a tour of a park that includes aerial panos and panos shot at different elevations. The auto-place feature makes things easier but how do I adjust the elevation of the ghost hotspots? Each node displays the hotspots around it's own horizon as though they were all taken at the same elevation. The panos from the drone include altitude data but the others don't. I took a guess at what they should be but I couldn't tell that P2VR did anything with that data. All my hotspots are still on the same plane. How can I place them correctly?

Thanks!

Hi,
Pano2VR will use this at some point but not at the moment.
I checked and there is a feature request in for it.
For now you will need to manually move the hotspots in your aerial panos.

Thank you for replying. How can I manually move the hotspots? I can't drag them around. There's a lock icon on them and I don't see any way to unlock them.

Just uncheck the "Auto Place" option in the properties window.

I looked through the Version 6 Documentation and found this and more:

Look for AUTO PLACE and below find:
If you wish to move the hotspot to a different location, deselect Auto Place and move the hotspot or change the Pan and Tilt parameters.

Hope this helps

I found the "auto-place" checkbox, unchecked it, and was able to move the hotspot. Thank you! I'm actually using version 5.2 as well. I didn't know 6 was out already. I just bought version 5.2 back in October. I guess I should have waited longer. :(

Edit:
Just saw a post saying v6 is a free upgrade if v5 was purchased after 1/1/2017. :D
