Hotspot on 360° Images - More than 4 control points

Hi,

perhaps a really dumb question. But I managed to get 6 control points of a hotspot on a 360 ° image. 

How do I add these editing points? The starting shape of hotspots only offers 4 points.

 

Cheers,

Thorsten

    Hi Thorsten, you can draw a custom shape in 360degree with more than 4 control points by clicking where each control point should go.

  • Thank you very much. I falsely assumed that you can add control points to a hotspot. But you can only delete them afterwards, not add them. So, I have to initialy click as many points on the image as I want to have. Then afterwards I can change their position to make it fit. Understood!

  • Hi Kendal.

    thanks, but you are talking about inserting a hotspot in normal view. I want to insert a hotspot in 360° View. So while working in a 360° image.

    Anybody a clue how I managed it in the upper screenshot? This hotspot has 6 points to grab.
    Cant be a bug, or?

      Hi TH-bf52b1b3-f6f

      I'm happy to see that Ange was able to share one of our helpful user guides with you! All you need to do is click each desired control point for it to populate in your 360° image. I know that it can be helpful at times to see a visual!

      Can you successfully accomplish this in your file? Please let me know if you have any questions! 

      Have a great start to your week!

  • Hi Thorsten,

    You can create a hotspot with lots of points by going to Insert>Hotspot>Freeform. Every time you click you get another control point. You can close the freeform shape by clicking near the first point or by hitting the Escape key.

    Perhaps that will allow you to achieve what you want.
