When determining the Northpoint "N" while setting up scans for a virtual tour, there appears a compass in the upper-right hand corner while in the "editing" mode before "Share & Publish." Is there a way to keep that compass visible for the viewer while viewing it after the virtual tour has been launched, or made LIVE? My client is requesting that feature be added to their tour. Please advise... Thank you

Hey everyone — the Top-Down Viewer is live. 🚀 Quick math on why this one matters for your throughput. An 8-scene tour linked the old way is about 7 connections. Every connection is two hotspots, one each way. That's ~14 placements you aim by hand before you've done anything creative. With the Top-Down Viewer it's 8 drags. One per scene. How it works: ▪ Drag each scene from the strip onto the floor plane ▪ Turn it until its floor lines up with its neighbours ▪ Tiles that touch are connected — that's it ▪ Pull two tiles apart and the connection goes ▪ Click a line to delete that connection both ways at once Why it changes what you can quote: The hotspot pass is the part of a tour that never scales — it grows with every scene you add. A 30-scene commercial job is 29 connections and ~58 placements. Take that out and the big jobs stop being the ones you hesitate to bid. How to open it: 1️⃣ Open a tour 2️⃣ Click Connect Scenes in the left sidebar 3️⃣ Drag your scenes onto the plane Full walkthrough — 7 minutes, real tour, start to finish: https://youtu.be/qyETT0qHd0o How long does the hotspot pass actually take you on a 20+ scene job? Drop it below — I want to see the real numbers.

Hello is there any more meetings for users to exchange ideas / thoughts? It seems like there was at one time. If not would there be interest in starting some up?

I recently captured a VT of business that's located on the 2nd floor of a business building. There's a stairway to the left and an elevator to the right upon entering the lobby. However, there's an existing business on the 1st floor that my client would like "blurred out," (see attached) or additional information that specifies the stairs and elevator. As a photographer, it would so easy to do. However, has anyone done this before? Would importing this shot into Affinity Photo > Convert to Equirectangular > Brush out the Business name & Add additional information > Export work? Thank you in advance for any of your input/resolve/experience with this issue (see attached) Doug

Here's a Pano captured last weekend with the Insta360 X5. The aerial 360 captured with DJI MAVIC 2 PRO drone. As usual, critiques welcome. HINT: contructive feedback makes each of us better at our craft https://app.cloudpano.com/tours/b13MUAxET
