      Sorry Tom, no luck. In fact, I had already added the terrain layer and tried uploading it again. Only difference was that I had not deleted the other model from 3D Warehouse before. Now I did it exactly like you said, deleting the model first, then uploading the model with the Terrain Layer... but as I said, no luck. Still no option to say the building is real and correctly geolocated, still no KMZ being created by 3D Warehouse 😞

        Can you paste the URL of the new one? (The old obviously doesn't work any more)

          Hi,

          OK, here's what I did: I downloaded you latest model from 3DW. Then I went into the Model Info window and chose the Location page. I checked the box "Use Georeferencing". Then I uploaded the model to 3DW at http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=7c2cdad3f08176b63b1f82950a151c08
          It looks like it worked because it shows correctly on the Map option in 3DW.

          I called it Temp and I'll leave it up for a couple of days then I'll delete it from 3DW

            So it wasn't georeferenced? (Sorry, I couldn't get to downloading it yet).

              so it seems the "set geolocation" box got unchecked somehow (probably I did it by accident).

              thanks for the tip. It worked flawlessly now. Btw, uploaded another building already!

                Becoming ever more exciting. 👍

                One or two 3D model doesn't seem to make much difference but when there are a bunch in a close vicinity, it suddenly becomes interesting as you "start to feel" the mass of the city itself.

                  I agree, and one of my first objectives at modelling Porto Alegre is to recreate all of the buildings in the Borges de Medeiros Av. "urban canyon".

                    I'm glad it all worked out. I've deleted the model in my section of 3DW.

                    I like the models together.

                      my fifth building, Espaço CIEE, located at 3rd Perimetral Avenue, Porto Alegre. You can two of my other buildings (Mercado Publico and IPASE) at the distance, a few km away, in the right.
