Pan Slider

In this guide, we'll walk you through using the Pan Slider—an essential tool for optimizing hotspot placements, especially on images that may lack heading data.

Why Use the Pan Slider?
When creating a virtual tour, GPS data typically aligns hotspots automatically, but some cameras may not capture heading data, impacting hotspot orientation. The Pan Slider in TillerXR’s tour creator helps you easily adjust hotspots so they align perfectly with your image, ensuring a seamless tour flow.

Step-by-Step: Adjusting Hotspots with the Pan Slider

1. Check Linked Hotspots: Open the Hotspot Sidebar to view all linked images and see the distance indicator for each link. This helps you spot any unwanted links that might need removal.
2. Locate the Pan Slider: Open the Image Sidebar and find the Pan Slider. This tool allows you to adjust all hotspots simultaneously. Move the slider to reorient hotspots and achieve the correct alignment.
3. Fine-Tune Hotspots: If needed, you can use individual move tools for final adjustments only after using the Pan Slider to ensure precise hotspot placement.

Pro Tips for Optimal Tour Creation

• Shoot Facing North: Point your camera north for each shot. This minimizes issues with heading data, as TillerXR can accurately place hotspots using GPS information alone when all images face a consistent direction.
• Avoid Manual Moves First: Before adjusting individual hotspots, start with the Pan Slider for overall placement. Once adjusted, you can fine-tune individual hotspots if necessary.
