What’s New

This video quickly explains what is new in PodiumxRT 1.5 and what is so great about it: GPU rendering engine and AutoSync.

Uninstall and Install

Let’s review installing, uninstalling previous versions and licensing.

The New Render Engines

New and much faster, more accurate, predictable, path tracing engines are one of the greatest new features of PodiumxRT 1.5

AutoSync 1

AutoSync works to keep the xRT 1.5 rendered scene connected to your SketchUp model so you can make changes in the SketchUp model and have the change automatically updated in the render. That is how it works on the Mac.

AutoSync2

AutoSync works to keep the xRT 1.5 rendered scene connected to your SketchUp model so you can make changes in the SketchUp model and have the change automatically updated in the render. This is how it works in Windows.
