Mac only There was a problem with Podium Light System on the Mac with V2.18.969 for SketchUp 2015. This bug has been fixed with V2.18.971. The bug was that you could not change the color of the omni and spot lights. Furthermore, choosing color from Spectrum and Color Wheel created a bug splat. These problems have been fixed with V2.18.971 for the Mac.
We recommend uninstalling V2.18.696 first. We have an automatic uninstall program for the Mac that makes uninstalling painless. Please read here how to uninstall.
Please download and install for the Mac, Version 2.18.971. Download here.
Windows only. There was a problem with V2.18.969 and large SketchUp models in that processing scenes in models with over 500,000 faces would stop or worse, create a bug splat. The issue was not about SketchUp models size but about Ruby Garbage Collection of strings with processing scenes. The new version of SU Podium V2 Plus for SU 2015 is an international language version and processing scenes generates twice as many strings as previous versions of Podium. A lot of strings were getting "piled up" and not disposed of. This might be analogues to a keyboard buffer that gets full. This problem has been solved and processing scenes can handle any size model that your RAM memory can handle.
Please download and install for the Windows, Version 2.18.972. It's not necessary to uninstall V2.18.969. Download V2.18.972 for Windows here.
The Win/Mac version of the Viso3D SketchUp export plug-in will convert your SketchUp 8, 2013 and 2014 model into a small file that can be read by the iPad 7. The Lightmap in the plug-in will also preserve the sun and shadows settings and create an ambient light for interior scenes. Read here and download the free trial. $29.95 ends soon.
