There is a stand alone version of Podium Browser that provides all the content that the plug-in version provides. But the stand alone version does not “drop” components directly into SketchUp. Rather, you download components or .skp files to your computer. Then you can import the .skp component into your SketchUp model using SketchUp’s File → Import command.
The stand alone version is here http://www.pdm-plants-textures.com/Podium_Browser/?sa=1
Note: If you decide to use the web, stand alone version and not the SketchUp plug-in version, use any browser but Safari.
- You can use Firefox or Chrome. Mac users should know that Safari will add an .html extension to files downloaded from this URL. So, you may find working in Firefox or Chrome to be easier.
- After accessing the web page, Agree to the EULA.
- Then go to options, enter your Podium Browser Paid content license and save. If the serial number is not saving, make sure that your browser’s cookies are on.
Then click on a thumbnail and download .skp files directly to your computer. - You can then import the .skp file into SketchUp.
