Yes that occurred to me, but it's way too much work. I'll be
processing lots of panos, and I'm trying to get my workflow
streamlined. I want to simplify things. Having two different
hotspots reference the same link will also make more work when
implementing the DB back end for my pano site.
I'm using CubicConnector, so Peter's suggestion of repositioning the
center line in CubicConverter before building the pano might be an
option, but then it might be a "trial and error" nightmare too. If
the software drew a grid to indicate where the cube face boundaries
would be after repositioning the center line, that'd certainly help.

Guys why you just don't make two or three hotspots on two or three
cube faces pointing to the same point that you want it to go ???

Steve - I had exactly the same problem while working with Cubic
Converter / Cubic Connector (MAC only). If you are using Cubic
Converter, one thing you can try doing is reorienting the
equirectangular image using Cubic Converter's center point
slider (setting a new center point). This will slice the image
into different cub faces which might be more favorable to how you
want to draw the hotspots.
Not a perfect solution.
There are other applications which will allow more flexibility in
hot spot creation.
DeliVRator (Mac Only) contains many features in addition to
optimizing VR. It has a node editor that gives you access to all
cube faces arranged in the 6 + 2 'T' format, allowing you to span
hot spots across each cube. You might still have a problem,
however, if you want to span hotspots into the zenith and nadir
regions though.
LiveStage Pro (Mac & PC) allows you to set hot spots anywhere.
Unfortunately both these apps are pricey if all you want to do is
create hot spots, and LiveStage Pro has quite a learning curve.
I'm sure there are other apps out there for setting hot spots
across multiple cub faces - I think VRworx might allows this.

Greetings,
I'm creating spherical QTVR panoramas, and the software I'm using
allows you to define hotspots by drawing polygons on a cube
face. What if the hotspot area spans two faces? How do I define
a single hotspot to cover the area? Perhaps it's a limitation of
the program I'm using? It'd be nice if I could just pan around
and draw the hotspot wherever, but this apparently isn't
possible. :-/ Is there any software which does allow this?
Thanks for any help,
