Podium Browser 3 features a complete interface overhaul, and adds some highly requested functionality to make the Browser experience even better. You will now be able to create a Podium Browser user account by linking your Google profile. This will allow Podium Browser to track two very useful items which will significantly speed up your Browser workflow:
Recently Used items: While you are logged in, Podium Browser 3 keeps a running list of all your recently used components. This makes it easier than ever to navigate back to the items you've been using in your scene without searching through the categories. Simply click the "Recently used" button, and you're good to go!
User Favorites: Additionally, Podium Browser will now keep track of your "favorite" Browser items. If you find yourself using a component over and over again, click the star icon in the upper right portion of the item thumbnail. Clicking the star will add that item to your favorites list, which can be accessed by clicking the "My favorites" button any time you are logged in.
Thousands of items now in the Podium Browser!
Over 850 free items available for anyone to use!

We're adding new content to Podium Browser every week! Podium Browser is still only $59.00 and includes thousands of high quality, render ready components, with additional models, materials, and light fixtures being added every week. Read more about the speed and efficiency of Podium Browser here.
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.
In this month's Podium Browser Quick Tip we will show you how to quickly populate a roof using Podium Browser roof tiles from the Hardware & Construction → Roofing category in Podium Browser.
Our roof tile components contain both textured "source tiles" and untextured "target" tiles that are designed to be used with the "Random Replacement" Sketchup plugin, which can be downloaded here. In the tutorial we create an array of blank target tiles, and then use the replacment plugin to randomly distribute textured tiles into the roof component.
As always, if you have any problems with the use of a specific tool or technique, feel free to post your question in the SUPlugins Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials forum.
A Note about keyword search: Podium Browser's keyword search at this point is very, very general and will search the entire database for any word that has the keyword in it. For example if you search for Wall lights and key in Wall with All categories, you will get hundreds of hits. However, if you combine a keyword search with a category selection, you will be more likely to find relevant results.
For example, if you search: Category - Light Fixture and Keyword - Wall, you will get all the Wall light fixtures that are in the Light Fixture category (at least ones that have been tagged with the word wall).
2nd License Specials for SU Podium V2 and Podium Browser continues: The 25% discount on your second purchase special is still in place as it has proven to be popular. If you already own one license of SU Podium or Podium Browser, get the second license of each for 25% off the list price. Buy here
Podium Browser paid content includes thousands of render ready components that you can click and drop into SketchUp to produce photo-realistic images very quickly. Embedded in the various categories are thousands of Podium materials, furniture items, plants, faucets, sinks, microwaves, refrigerators, 3D and 2D trees, grass, 2D people, 3D cars, exterior items, thousands of light fixtures and much more. These components are all modeled with skill and crafted in SketchUp with SU Podium V2 & V2+ properties. This will enable you to create your kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, exteriors and landscape designs in SketchUp effectively.
Rendering the Browser components photo-realistically with SU Podium V2 or Podium Walker does not require anything but to turn the render button on. Podium Browser free content is included in SU Podium V2 free trial or full version. The Paid content must be purchased.
Podium Browser Paid content is still $59.00 for a permanent license. You will be able to access new content that is added each month as a Paid content owner. Second license is 25% off. Podium Browser's paid content license will soon increase to $79.00, however, the second license will continue to be 25% off.
