Activate your sixteen character alpha numeric license code. If you are using the commercial version of SU Podium, you will need to activate your 16 character license code to get the full version working. You can register the license in two ways. First, you can pick License from the SU Podium V2 pull down menu and activate your license. Second, when you click render, you will be prompted to activate your license.

(If you are using the evaluation version, ignore this dialog box and wait for the process scene to finish to continue to evaluate.)

Once the license is registered, please restart SketchUp. This action will turn off the trial mode of SU Podium V2.

Troubleshooting your install. One common problem reported is that after you install SU Podium V2, the Podium pull-down and tool bar does not show up in SketchUp. Make sure you restart SketchUp, if SketchUp was open during the install. There's usually one reason why SU Podium V2 menus do not appear in SketchUp and that is to do with the installation. Please click here to read about how to solve this issue.

4. Render process and getting started

V2 Plus menu



After installing SU Podium V2 for SketchUp, you can access SU Podium V2 from the SketchUp plug-ins pull down menu or from the SU Podium V2 tool bar.

Before you render your first SketchUp model, get familiar with the Options dialog box and the various settings that are controlled there. We also recommend that you render a sample model from the SU Podium V2 models pageas a way to test Podium.

To introduce yourself to V2's rendering process, do a quick render of your model. First click on the Options menu from the pull down or the tool bar. In the preset pull down list, pick www.spearpointsecuritygroup.com This preset is not the best but is the easiest to start with. In the Output tab, under Dimensions, pick a Fixed size or the default Viewport size for the rendered image size. Click the OK button. Then pick the Render menu from the pull-down or tool bar. A series of sequences will happen after clicking on the Render icon or menu. If this is your first render, you will be prompted to Activate your license.

• Processing Scene - This first step is where SketchUp geometry and textures (materials) are exported to Podium's raytracing engine. If your SketchUp model is very big, this process can take several minutes. The speed of processing scenes is determined primarily by the number of faces or polygons that the model has. Other determining factors are the number materials and point lights. For example, if you have several hundred thousand faces in your model, processing scene can take several minutes to complete. Processing scene's speed has changed drastically with the introduction of V If you have not upgraded to V, we strongly recommend that you do.


Please read here if you find that Processing Scenes is taking a very long time.
• UV Mapping - UV Maps are laid out for your textures. This step is usually fast.
• Prerendering in progress - After UV Mapping, you will see an OOPR message telling you that Prerendering is in progress and indicating the percentage of completion.
• Raytracing - Podium V2's raytracing uses a high quality raytracing program and is one of the fastest on the market. This will occur after Prerendering. From this point you can Preview your render.
• Resampling Edges - This is the final step and often takes longer than Raytracing. Most of resampling is the anti-aliasing process which smooths out the edges of your rendered image. The preset you choose from the Options menu controls the level of anti-aliasing.

Once Raytracing starts you can click on the Show button in the Podium Render Manager (OORP) to view the render progress dynamically. The preview image displayed by the Podium Render Manager will be smaller than the final rendered image. The final rendered image will be saved to the folder containing your SketchUp model unless you manually choose an alternate save location. Please read about this in the Options section.

5. Download and test some ready made SketchUp models.
