Light Fixture Outliner (Beta) is a free plugin to make selecting, organizing, and editing your Podium lights easier and more efficient than the standard SketchUp outliner.
LF Outliner provides an organized list showing only Podium lights and components in your model that contain Podium lights or LEM materials and links directly with the Podium light system dialog.

GenerateAll v1.0.22460 corrects a problem that caused GenerateAll to calculate incorrect shadow position for scenes in small SketchUp models (under ~50,000 faces).
The update uses a slight delay on each scene to ensure that GenerateAll remains "in sync" with SketchUp when calculating shadows.
Download the GenerateAll update here.
CubicVR v3.0.22533 fixes a previous issue that caused a mismatch between the SketchUp camera and the opening position of the Panorama VR presentation created from your SketchUp render.
This CubicVR update requires SU Podium V2.5.519, and ensures that the opening position of the spherical panorama matches camera position in the original SketchUp view.
