Podium Browser Standalone 2020 V1.0 had a bug that caused Podium Browser and SketchUp to sometimes freeze when downloading components larger than ~20 MB. Podium Browser stanalone V1.1 corrects this bug and is now available on the download page.
If you are using Podium Browser Standalone (without the SU Podium toolbar), we recomend you update to V1.1.
Updating Podium Browser standalone is easy:
The normal time range for SU Podium renders is anywhere from a few minutes up to several hours. However, if the SU Podium render manager is estimating extreme render times in the 12-24+ hour range, there is almost certainly some specific bottleneck in the file that is slowing things down. This video demonstrates our recommended methodology for troubleshooting an unreasonably or uncharacteristically slow render.
Troubleshooting steps that we cover:
Spoiler! The problem in the video ended up being thick "two layer" glass with internal reflections. Glass windows and doors only need a single SketchUp face over the opening. Do not extrude your window faces or use two layer glass for these purposes.
There was a bug on the Podium Panorama server that prevented users from using the Panorama Tours feature.
This bug has been fixed, and the panorama tours feature should now function correctly at Panopdm.com.
All SU Podium V2.6 licenses come with full access to Podium Browser paid content, which contains over 20,000 high quality, render-ready components, with additional models, materials, and light fixtures being added every month.
If you are already an SU Podium V2.5 user, purchasing the V2.6 upgrade for $59 is currently the most cost effective way to gain access Podium Browser content.
Podium Browser is still available as a standalone plugin for only $99.00. To see the full range of new Browser content, open the Podium Browser web page. Click on Agree, then click on Show only recent files to see the latest.
