How to Add a Mirror Ball Nadir in GoThru

Last updated on Jul 17, 2025

Adding a mirror ball nadir is a great way to cover the tripod area in your 360 panoramas, giving your virtual tour a cleaner and more professional appearance. Follow the steps below to add it using GoThru’s new interface.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open Nadir Manager

From the My Tours page, locate the tour you want to edit.
Click the Tools button and select Nadir Manager from the list.

2. Select Your Panorama

A thumbnail preview of your tour’s panoramas will appear.
Select the panorama(s) where you want to apply the mirror ball nadir.

3. Enable Mirror Ball

In the Nadir Patching panel, toggle the switch labeled “Use Mirror Ball” to activate the effect.
You will immediately see a circular mirror effect applied over the nadir (bottom) area of the panorama.

4. Adjust the Settings

Scale Nadir: Drag the slider to adjust the size of the mirror ball.
Rotate Nadir: Adjust the rotation of the nadir if necessary.
You can preview the changes in real-time within the viewer.

5. Apply to Panoramas

Toggle Apply Selected if you want to patch only selected images.
Or toggle Apply All to apply the mirror ball nadir to all images in the tour.

6. Apply Changes

Click the Apply button.
Important: Once applied, the nadir cannot be undone. To revert, you must re-upload the original 360 images (with the exact file names), and GoThru will automatically replace and reconnect them without losing links.

That’s it! You’ve successfully added a mirror ball nadir to your panorama using GoThru.
