You don’t need Podium Browser to create chrome or for that matter any material. The chrome material is essentially a grey color with 75% reflection. In this case, use the Podium Materials Editor eye-dropper (for Mac users the SketchUp Paint eye dropper maybe easier) to select the chrome1 material that is applied to the curved door handle.
A curved face is actually comprised of many planar faces, so if you pick the face with the chrome1 material, initially the Podium Materials Editor will not recognize the material. Note: door handles are comprised curved faces. Now open SketchUp Materials InModel and paint chrome to all parts of the door handle.
