I’m sorry, but I disagree that not being able to pan vertically manually (ie without tilting the device) is the correct functionality, you obviously believe otherwise.
Having done over 40 pano tours we’ve found that users initially are wow’s by the gyro but soon bore of it or even find it damn awkward if they are sitting down or more importantly trying to show something to someone else.
You SHOULD be able to pan 360 left to right AND 180 top to bottom, anything else isn’t fully functioning and needs fixing.
Here’s an example of a fully functioning pano tour where you can look anywhere using you finger on mobile and mouse on desktop: https://www.tours.blockcpm.studio/chubby-cherub/tour/
I’ve no idea what js library you used jlo but your demo doesn’t function on my iPad at all. You might want to try with this lib https://pannellum.org , as you can see from the demo on their home page you can look without any limitations.
I’d you build floor by floor then knocking out floor plans is easy, I do them for every project I do.
All perfectly valid, I have no argument against any of them. Well done.
timeless I assume you question is for me, Everything is modelled and rendered in SU/Enscape (obviously)
I then use Topaz GigaPixel to double the pano’s res from the rendered 4k x 8k to 8k x16k
The tour is made with 3DVista, it essentially makes a website that you then upload to a web server. I’ve done over 40 of them so far.
It's that time again.

Tips:
Have a setting specifically for Panos and turn off auto exposure in it.
When you setup a pano have the initial starting point NOT pointing at a window/bright area. if you still have problems then resave/update the view so you looking somewhere else.
Oh man, a 3090. Just out of interest is there any particular time of the day that’s left unattended…. Asking for a friend 😈
That must be some model to have burned through 24gb, textures will fill the memory damn quickly, do you have many large textures such as 4k grass maps?
There is a SketchUp plugin that will list all the jpg’s used and their size. I found one of my biggest offenders was a texture used on a wicker basket I’d downloaded from the warehouse, it was stupidly large and I knocked it down to meer kb’s.
This model has 1000’s of scattered trees, bushes, plants and renders ok.
Video wasn’t a problem either
But as I mentioned above I have all the RTX stuff off.
I use Skatter to place a very dense curtain of trees around my houses. I’d say at least 400 Enscape trees would be a safe bet and that’s on top of all the interior furniture so I doubt it’s an object limit.
I have an 8gb 2070 , I have all the RTX stuff turned off or I’ll crash 99% of the time with them on.
Couple of questions:
I had one model that wouldn’t render specific views but would render others.
What I determined what that the problem views had a lot more proxy’s in them (flowers in my case) than the others. These were proxys of my own making via Transmutr with quite dense geometry.
I found in testing that I could render if I either deleted some proxys or turned the camera slightly so that less were in the view.
As a test will it render if you point the camera somewhere less complex such as the sky?
A good example:
In a typical house I’ll save my pano scenes in the order I go through the house, eg:
hall, lounge, kitchen, utility, dining, landing, bed1, en-suite, bed2, bed3, bathroom.
But in Enscape the order is now:
Bathroom, bed1, bed2, bed3, en-suite, dining, hall, kitchen, landing, lounge, utility.
That’s obviously a simplified list as I will have multiple panos per room but as you can see navigating the list in Enscape can be awkward as the rooms are all over the place.
As I type this I’m rendering 21panos, it’s on the 14th pano currently which is … the hall, ie, the 1st room in the house/SketchUp scene list.
I can’t, sorry.
I’ve just searched the forum but it seems older posts have been purged/archived but I distinctly remember either starting or commenting on a thread where it was discussed.
Prior versions of Enscape did sort the views in the same order as Sketchup’s scene’s but it changed to the alphabetical order we have now. I remember a request where we asked for it to be either reverted or an option to pick the sort order to be added.
If there is an forum archive you may want to search using my user name as a filter as I know I commented on it.
+1
Yea, this changed in v3, In 2.x the list respected the SketchUp order.
It was asked about when 3 came out but it seems nothing has been done about it.
The question of sections and shadows has been asked many times before, here’s a concise answer Section Cuts very dark?
Not currently, I've added it to the wish list, you should do it too.
Single thickness surfaces will leak at the joints, either give all your walls/floors a thickness OR enclose your model in box.
In terms of the actual day to day usability, I think the Lenovo might be a better bet simply because of the screen size.
The MSI is 2560 x 1440 and the Lenovo is 2560 x 1600. that would mean the Lenovo has a 16x10 aspect screen, these are much nicer to work with. If you think about how much of your vertical space is taken up with titlebars, toolbars, taskbars etc then every extra mm is valuable.
If you web chat regularly then it's worth checking out the position of the cam, some have them at the bottom of the screen giving whoever you're chatting with a nice view up your nose.
Other than that they are relatively equal, I would see if you can get the RTX3060 with its 12Gb of ram instead of the 3070 with its 8 though.
MAKE SURE ITS THE 3060 WITH THE 12, There's one with 8 in which case the 3070 is better
Wow! you've invested all this money in a SketchUp and Enscape licence and are still learning the absolute basics to use them ... that's a brave investment ... good luck /s
