box object on the ground

[koma]

How do I correctly set a box object on the ground? With tilt=90 it seems to disappear? And with tilt=89 I have to scale it a lot. Have a look:
<box
id="spot_d"
tilt="-89"
rotationY="-90"
scale="44"

/>
…does not seem to be a clean solution.:???: I'd like to set a spot on the very ground just under the cam to hide the tripod.

You need to set the orientation. It is using the default orientation of "cylinder", which places things upright on the horizon, and as the move down from the horizon they get "farther" away, and at -90 tilt they are "infinitely" far away. Hence having to set the scale really high at -89.

Try orientation=sphere. And remove rotationY and scale.

from editor choose your hotspot than (with mouse) pan your pano to the ground, press reset and you'll see your hotspot on the center, from there you start using : static (to fix in that point), and distorted with orientation (down in this case)... try to familiarize with this parameters, move the pano and see what append. Than use align and salign...to find position.
press "copy XML" and paste to your xml file.
