Default Starting View: What is it and how do I use it?

What is the Default Starting View?

When you upload your scene or 360 photo to Yulio, the scene will open in Yulio based on the camera position you had set in you render, or what your 360 camera settings had dictated as ‘forward’. However, if you want to change that view to another part of the scene (or the beauty shot) when you’re presenting in VR, you can do so by setting a Default Staring View.

How do I set the Default Starting View?

When logged in to Yulio, click on the project you would like to edit.

Next, click on the blue Hotspot Editor button.

In the Hotspot Editor, locate the tabs on the left side of your screen and select the tab with the arrow icon. This tab is labelled “Starting Direction.” 

Selecting the Starting Direction tab will open the Default Starting View editor.

Adjust the opening view by using your mouse to click and drag on the scene.

When you are happy with the scene location, select Apply. Once the Default Starting View is updated, the image thumbnail in the left tool pane will update to reflect your change.

If you prefer to return to the original view, click on the Reset to Default button in the left tool pane.

To adjust the Default Starting View for any additional scenes, click on either the Next Scene arrow (>) at the bottom left of your screen or the Scenes List icon at the top right to navigate to your next scene and repeat the steps above.

The next time you view your VR project in browser mode on a computer, the new Default Starting View will be adjusted for each scene that is navigated to using the floorplan or Next Scene arrows.
