Lines
Lines are paths through your 3D scene that define how viewers navigate the experience.
Drawing a Line
Switch to the Line tool from the toolbar. Click on the 3D scene to place vertices. Each click adds a point — the line connects them in order. A preview sphere follows your cursor showing where the next point will be placed.
Screenshot: Line tool active — cursor hovering over the scene with a white preview sphere, dotted line connecting to the last placed point
Every vertex automatically becomes a tag (point on the line). You can name and style these tags later.
Editing a Line
With the Line tool active, click a line in the sidebar to select it. The sidebar shows all the line's tags and properties. Click a tag in the 3D scene to select it — a gizmo appears to reposition it. Press Backspace to delete the selected tag.

Line Settings
Expand the line's settings panel in the sidebar to configure:
Appearance
- Line Color — the color of the line in the scene
- Line Width — thickness in pixels
- Dash Width & Space — for dashed lines, controls segment and gap length
- Vertex Visibility — show/hide unnamed vertex dots along the line
- Closed — connect the last point back to the first, creating a loop

Scroll Mode
Controls how the camera moves when a viewer scrolls along the line:
- Observe — the camera floats alongside the line at a distance, looking toward it. Viewers can orbit around the line. Good for exterior views of buildings or landscapes.
- Track — the camera follows the exact camera path used when filming. The orientation at each point matches the original recording. Good for walk-throughs and interior tours.

Scroll Distance
In Observe mode, this controls how far the camera sits from the line. Higher values give a wider view, lower values bring the camera closer to the path.
Autoplay
Enable Autoplay to make the camera automatically move along the line when a viewer enters it. The viewer can pause by touching/clicking the scene, and resume with the play button.
- Autoplay — toggle on/off
- Speed — multiplier for playback speed (default 1). Higher values move faster.
When the camera reaches the end of a non-looping line, pressing play again reverses direction and plays back to the start.
Screenshot: Line settings with Autoplay toggle enabled and Speed set to 1.5, play button visible in the preview overlay
Splits
Tags can be marked as Split points. Splits divide the line into logical sections — useful for labeling route segments (e.g., pitches on a climbing route). The {{split_index}} template variable resolves to the split's ordinal number (01, 02, etc.), zero-padded.
Screenshot: A climbing route line with 3 split points labeled 01, 02, 03 — each section has a different color tag
Name, Subtitle & Description
Each line has a Name, Subtitle (a short template string that supports variables like {{elevation}}), and a Description (longer-form text). All three are shown in the preview overlay when a viewer enters the line.
