12 uploaded, 3 pending, I have none listed that are rejected, but my draft rate is terrible. Since I upgraded to sketchup 8, it's usually taken 3 to 4 submissions and a couple of appeals to get my buildings accepted, though much of this is due to difficult terrain.

I think a "model this" competition would be really cool. I'm in the US, and I can tell you there are tons of small towns that would even appreciate a group of people modeling the landmark buildings in their community. I also think for those of us who geo-model for GE it would be an awesome way to help give practical pointers on one anothers' models so we can build a better GE.

I admit, building maker is not an ideal tool from a usefulness, efficiency, or geometric elegance standpoint, but it does get the job done as far as putting up a facade that goes a step beyond satellite imagery. It also populates buildings most wouldn't think to model, and all it takes to get some of those hideous models off is to model them better, which sketchup can do 100% of the time so long as a chimpanzee isn't running it. My brother's workplace is a great example, I've asked him to get me some pictures of his building, as the current one is a building-maker conglomeration, maybe I'll take before and afters when he finally gets them to me!

Hey all, I'm new. I've been looking through the plugins, and I've been having trouble finding plugins that do the following things:

Count faces with the default texture

Select faces with the default texture

Paint both sides of a face simultaneously, or, make faces one-sided.
(I'm curious about this one, because my GE models made in sketchup 7 are one-sided faces, when you look inside the building, it is the same texture image as the outside, on my Sketchup 8 models, the faces are 2-sided causing all kinds of grief for uploading to GE)

Remove inside faces
(Once I close the bottom of the building, remove geometry that is not visible (or or not connected to faces visible) from the outside, such as default faces created between floor pulls, geometric jigs used to create complex architecture, follow me paths I missed, etc.)

Face Reversing

Polygon, texture size, and file size limit warnings
(Like a stat box that pops up a warning when you reach a certain percent of a given limitation)

If there really aren't plugins to do this, I'd like to start one, and if there are I'd like to talk to the authors about collating them into a geomodeling plugin package.

Also if other geomodelers have other good plugins or ideas for plugins that would be useful in pre-checking for google earth submission readiness, I'd love to hear it!
