Hello,
I am new here and diligently practising creating panoramas.
I would now like to create a hotspot where I have several options to choose from. For example, I click on a hotspot and then I can choose whether I want to open a picture, a video or one or more PDF files.
Unfortunately, I haven't found anything suitable in the forum in a hurry. Thank you in advance

Hi Schubi,
You can build this in Pano2VR's skin editor.

A working example is attached.
Media is added to assets, and then the path is added to Point Hotspot Custom Properties.

Hello, I still have a question about the Multi-functional hotspot. If I now have several pdf documents to choose from (e.g. description and operation), do I have to create new variables and include them? e.g. var_pdf1 and var_pdf2?

Hi,
The hotspots use custom properties which hold the data required for each popup:

This means each Point Hotspot can have its own Pdfs, image, video and information text.

And what if I want to open two or more pdf documents using a multifunctional hotspot?

Hi,
Ahh, I see, you want the same multifunctional point hotspot to have more than one PDF icon.
Thee yes you would need to add another Hotspot Custom Property to store the second PDF file as well as a second PDF icon.
This could get quite complex so maybe concider just having separate PDF point hotspots.
