3. SU Podium V2 Plus
SU Podium V2 Plus is just around the corner. It will be a FREE upgrade for SU Podium V2 users. It will be a fairly substantial upgrade with two major new features and a lot of smaller additions to make Podium even easier to use.
A major feature to V2 Plus is the Podium Image Editor which allows for a limited amount of image "post processing" right inside SketchUp and directly from OOPR.
Click on the image below to be directed to the video on Podium Image Editor. We will be adding more videos and documentation here as V2 Plus develops. We expect to release a free beta within two weeks and have a final release in June. Keep in mind - this is a free upgrade for SU Podium V2 users.
