Adding aerial views which someone can actually SEE!

It would be nice if we added aerial exteriors to a floor plan that the “dot” would be somewhat visible. As it is now, it’s a dark green dot on a black background and NOBODY sees it. I knew it was there and I couldn’t see it!

It would be nice if it had a background contrasting behind the word “aerial” and the dot so at least a viewer could see it!

I always thought that something like the stairs icon for going up or down would make a good indicator by a door/window/patio door etc.

Well done Todd. Great way to do it.

I will only take credit for the reply. That tour is from a company based in Quebec Canada.

I’ve just started to put any drone panos on their own “floor”. When the viewer changes floors, they will see there is a floor called Drone View, encouraging them to explore it.

Also, you don’t get that silly “aerial” label on the floor plans, and the navigation dots are of no concern. They never make sense anyhow.

This is one I just did. Only had one drone shot, but you can put as many as you want.

I like the idea of putting the drone shot as a separate floor plan. Can you let us know how you create the pano. Is it done in survey when you are capturing the property? Or do you insert the pano in stitch?
TIA

Hi Jocelyn,

When you add a new floor in Stitch you’ll right-click on the new floor and click add pano from the context menu. When you do that it will ask for the location of the pano image. With aerial you’ll need to have a single pano image already stitched from your drone.

Hope that answers your question.

Has anyone accomplished adding “Drone/Aerial” to the actual Tour yet? If so, do you have a link so we can see it? I can’t visualize it in my mind at all.

Thank you,

Here’s an old example when I first started out: iGUIDE 3D Tour for 4736 Tamarack Pl, Sechelt, BC

That looks AWESOME! I am absolutely going to give that a whirl. Any chance you have a link on how you did that?

Thank you so much for the example. That ROCKS!!
