 SU Podium V2.5.519 Beta has been released

SU Podium V2.5.519 Beta - Pano bug fix - This is a small maintenance update fixing a minor camera issue when rendering and viewing 360° panoramas.

Some users were encountering a bug that caused the "initial camera angle" to be rotated 90 degrees from what was set in SketchUp upon opening the Panorama on the Pano server. In this release the initial camera angle of Panorama presentations will match your SketchUp camera.

This issue is of more importance if you plan on using the upcoming Panorama tour feature, which allows users to link between different Panoramas using "hotspots."

 Panorama Server has been updated

The Pano Server has been updated with two presentation improvements.

1. Auto-rotate: We've added an auto-rotate feature (the arrow icon pictured right), which slowly rotates the panorama without any user input when clicked
2. Gyroscope off: We have also added the ability to turn off the gyroscope on mobile devices and switch to touch input.

Panorama Tour is an upcoming service within the Pano server that will allow users to link between multiple panorama images to create a simulated "tour" presentation.

The feature will let designers place hotlinks within a Pano VR, which will move viewers to a new camera location or different room, giving you the ability to present a full location walk through without sacrificing any of the photo-realistic quality you're used to.

Note: Though a tours tab has been added to the server page, the feature is not live yet—please ignore the button for now.
