Step 2 — Minimap, Hotspots, and Pop-up Elements

by Space Tour

1. Transition Point (Hotspot)

To add a transition point, select the Add Point tool located directly below the Publish button.

After clicking on the panorama, a settings panel will open on the right.

Hotspot settings

• Point title

You can enter a custom name or automatically use the scene name assigned during panorama upload by enabling the corresponding toggle.

• Show on hover only

When enabled, the hotspot label appears only on hover.

• Icon style

By enabling this option, you can:

  • select a custom icon;
  • upload a PNG or SVG file;
  • use a scene preview as the icon;
  • choose an icon from the built-in library.

Icon library search works in English only.

For example, typing Car will return icons such as CarCart, and similar results.

• Icon size

Three sizes are available: small, medium, and large.

• Use pin (stem)

Adds a visual “stem” below the icon. This is useful when the hotspot points to small or distant details in the panorama.

• Scene transition

This is the main setting. Select the destination scene from the dropdown list.

Scenes are sorted by most recently added, and search by name is available.

After configuring the hotspot, click Save.

If you click Cancel, all changes will be discarded.


2. Information (Pop-up Window)

The next tool is Information.

Click the tool and then click anywhere on the panorama to place a pop-up.

A settings panel will open on the right.

Pop-up settings

• Title

Set the name of the information point.

• Content type

Text is selected by default, but you can switch to:

  • Image
  • Video

Text mode

Available fields:

  • title;
  • description;
  • button label;
  • button link.

Image

Upload a standard image file (.jpg or .png).

Video

You can use direct links from:

  • RuTube
  • VK Video
  • YouTube
  • Vimeo

The link is automatically converted into a valid iframe.

Icon style

You can select a built-in icon or upload your own.

Icon size and appearance can also be adjusted.


3. Label

The Label tool is located below the Information tool.

It works similarly to a pop-up but without a window and without navigation.

Labels are used to:

  • mark objects on the panorama;
  • add static captions.

You can set a title, choose an icon, and adjust size and style.


4. Minimap

To add a minimap or floor plan, click the Minimap icon near the Publish / Settings buttons.

A dedicated minimap editor will open.

How to add a minimap

Click on the empty area and upload a floor plan or schematic image.

After uploading, the following tools become available:

  • Add Point
  • Add Link
  • Add Information

Tool behavior

• Add Point

Works the same as a hotspot and links a scene to a specific position on the plan.

• Information

Adds a pop-up directly on the minimap.

• Add Link

Allows you to place an external link (for example, to a website, booking page, or aggregator).

Important: external links are disabled in MLS tours.

MLS tours will be introduced in Space Tour in upcoming updates.
