Guide Editing

Setting Guide

• Click "New Guide" on the canvas to create a new guide point, which will appear in the card on the right.
• Click the "Edit" button to set parameters for the guide.
• In the guide editing page on the right, you can configure the switching method, the perspective rotation method, and the rotation speed for each guide.

Adding Explanation

• After setting a guide point, click the "Edit Explanation" icon to open the add explanation audio pop-up.
• There are two ways to set explanation audio: voice synthesis and uploading from the media library.

Selecting Explanation Audio from the Asset Library

• Choose the guide audio directly from the audio asset library. If there are no asset in the library, click the "Upload" button in the upper right corner to upload audio materials to the library before selecting.

Generating Explanation Audio via Speech Synthesis

• Click "Speech Synthesis," enter the speech title and content (up to 300 characters), select a speech style (sweet female voice, steady male voice), and click "Speech Audition" to generate and play the audio automatically. Click "Save Audio" to save the generated audio to the media library. To modify the explanation content, simply edit the text and preview again.
• Select the generated sample audio and click "Confirm."

Modifying Explanations

• Click "Delete" to remove an added explanation and add a new explanation audio.

Saving Explanation

• After selecting the explanation audio, click "Save" to successfully add the explanation audio to the guide point.

Explanation Settings

• Click "Explanation Settings" to configure the playback mode:
  • Explanation Priority: During automatic guiding, if the audio duration exceeds the perspective guide duration, the system switches guide points after the audio finishes. This is the default mode.
  • Guide Priority: During automatic guiding, if the audio duration exceeds the perspective guide duration, the guide proceeds normally. This mode is suitable when multiple guide points correspond to one explanation audio.
  • Background Music During Guide: Default is off, meaning no background music (added in tour information) plays during the guide. If turned on, background music will not be turned off during the guide.

Guide Settings

• Click "Settings" on the canvas to configure global parameters for the guide in the current scene. Choosing "Effective for all guide points in 3D mode" applies default parameters to all guide points. Choosing "Effective only for added guide points in 3D mode" affects only newly added guide points, not those already set.

Front-End Display

• Click the "Guide" button in the upper left corner of the homepage to enter guide mode.
• The guide automatically progresses through each scene starting from the first. Clicking the "Pause" button on the guide toolbar pauses the guide, and clicking the "Close" button exits guide mode, returning to normal mode. If new explanations are added during the guide, they will play automatically during the guide.
