Re: Hotspots That "Straddle" Cube Faces

I was aware of the open faces view but had been avoiding it since discovering a bug (go to single face view, click in label field to give it focus, click open faces button, kaboom) and since you can't label hotspots in that view.

I've never run into that bug, I guess because I label my hotspots in the "Connections" tab, when I am visually aware of where they lead to.

You should only worry about repositioning the center line if the cross-projection doesn't cut it.

Which is of course what I encountered on the first pano. :-/ But that will hopefully be relatively infrequent. Now I just wish I could draw circular and oval hotspots. Yeah, you can approximate them with a polygon, but polygons are much more time consuming to draw, and they aren't as aesthetically pleasing. Gosh I'm picky... ;-)

Well, if you are going to have your hotspots visible all the time, then I guess having a pleasing shape will actually matter. If the hotspot drawing-tools in a $79 app really frustrate you, there is always $400 LiveStagePro (which does much, much more with any QT movie) and its distinct lack of a polygonal hotspot tool! Ah, but it does have circle/oval, paintbrush, eraser, easy repositioning, large drawing area, etc. Plus, the interactive elements you can add to a QTVR with LiveStage is nothing short of amazing... if they continue to work in the latest version of QuickTime, that is.
