Click Edit Floor Plan to enter the floor plan editing status.
After selecting a panorama, double-click on the corresponding position in the map on the left to add a camera to the map.
The direction of the camera will follow the rotation of the corresponding panorama and rotate accordingly.
If the default camera orientation does not match the actual orientation of the current panorama, you can click on the corresponding camera and a rotation component will appear. Using the Rotation component, you can unilaterally adjust the orientation of the camera without changing the current orientation of the panorama.
After adding a camera and saving the project, you can see the camera you just added in the map in the official preview link of the panorama, and support switching to the corresponding panorama by clicking on the camera in the floor plan map.
If your project is a multi-storey building, you can create floor plan navigation layers, and in the panorama link, the being shared person can switch between floors by toggling the different floors with a drop-down selector in the map navigation component.
Panoramas of Multiple Statuses
It supports users in uploading two different panoramas in the same location to achieve the effect of switching.
Users need to render two panoramas with different effects in the same location in the client (as shown in the images below, one before the lights are turned on and one after).
After uploading a panorama as a base state, click 'Edit multiple statuses' to open the upload pop up window.
After uploading another panorama, system will automatically create a state switcher for this location, allowing the user to switch between different displays.
