Here is a question that I have gotten recently and I thought I would throw it up here.... why not right?
Question:
Not sure if you can answer this or not. Iāve created a model of my office, uploaded it to 3D warehouse, and it shows up in Google earth, but only under temp. places. How do I get it to show up when anyone else searches on Google earth like other 3D building in our city?
Answer:
So this was a common problem we had while I was working for Google and
the easiest way for me to explain it is to start from the beginning,
sorry if I repeat info you already know.
-
Import data from Google Earth (looks like you have already done this)
-
Make your model
-
Load it up to the 3d warehouse (which you did)
-
But the important step is to make sure, as you load your model to the
warehouse, you check the box that says "model is geo located" (or
whatever it exactly says, but you get the idea ha)
-
Once you do that, there is nothing more to do other then wait. Google
has to review your model to make sure it is "worthy". Once they review
it and give it the OKAY, then it will be loaded into Google Earth for
the world to see. But if you have clients or whomever, that need to see
the model now, they can download it from the warehouse as a .KMZ file
(Google Earth file) or a collada file (another type of Google Earth
file). They will be able to load Google Earth and see your model.
