Yes, if you have a really huge location/space and you do not want to overload this single tour, you can combine several spaces into one with the help of a deep link or a tour link. Or you just want to connect numerous floors of the giant hotel or shopping mall, so the viewers can "travel" around different spaces/floors. You can merge both, Treedis and Matterport tours.
What is the difference between a Tour Link and a Deep Link?
Tour link - a regular link for the public tour, which can be found on the admin panel or copied from the browser address bar:
Deep link - a link for a specific location in the tour. To retrieve a deep link, you need to get inside the Treedis tour first, then navigate to the needed location and click the keyboard combination Ctrl+Y to copy the current position. The deep link for location will look this way:
How to get a deep link from a space?
Matterport space > open the tour and press U
Treedis tour > open the tour and press Ctrl + Y
Another way to retrieve a deep link on Treedis tour is via Social Share button enabled for the tour in the Interface > Restrictions section:
1. Click on the Share icon.
2. Pull the Location toggle to the right.
3. Click on the Link icon to copy the deep link:
What Treedis features allow merging the tours?
Burger Menu and Highlight Reel are the mostly used options that allow an easy navigation. Also, deep links / tour links can be added to Map, Panorama, Tag, Polygon, Media object.
- If you combine Treedis tours > select Tour Link action type.
- If you combine Matterport tours > select Matterport (Instant) or Matterport (Fly-over) action type.
How does it work?
When you combine / merge several tours using the tour links and add them as Burger Menu item, or as new thumbnail in Highlight Reel, or as a hotspot on the Map etc, so when a visitor clicks on this specific item/thumbnail/hotspot, it will redirect him/her to another tour.
Note: We recommend merging no more than 3 tours into 1 to avoid issues with the loading speed and system problems.
