Description: This field enables you provide a detailed description of your model. For example, you might describe specific features in your model. If you’re uploading a historic building, you might include a brief description of the building’s history. To add a hashtag that makes your model easy to find through search, begin by typing # and then some descriptive text. The autocomplete feature suggests useful hashtags and helps you avoid typos. To make your model easy to find you should limit your descriptions to 500 characters or less, and use five or fewer hashtags. Models must be under 10 MB of filesize to be uploaded the the 3D Warehouse.Category: Click Assign Category to see a menu of categories and click Apply to assign the selected category to your model.Hashtag spam is penalized in search results. There are also share settings Check the box if you would like viewers to be able to contact you about the model, track model history, etc. When unfolding 'Extra options', the modeler can also add a website and a logo which links to another website. The required text mainly consists of 'Title', 'Description', and 'Tags or Labels'. If the model passes, it will be added to the 3D Warehouse layer, and will soon be visible within Google Earth itself, by checking the box in the sidebar that is labeled '3D Buildings'.Ī Sketchup modeler will have to be a registered Google user to upload his models to the 3D Warehouse. In other words, it will be reviewed by several Google employees, who check the models qualifications under certain acceptance criteria. 
If a 'Google Earth ready' model is submitted, within a few weeks, the model will pass through 'the pipeline'. Users can select the option when uploading their models, to verify if the model is 'Google Earth ready', which should be checked if the model is a real, current, well textured and correctly located representation of the reallife building. The models can also be viewed directly in Google Earth, or on Google Maps.
Individual models can be viewed in 3D in the browser, but can also be downloaded in a KML (Google Earth) or SKP (Google Sketchup) file. When uploading, modelers can write a useful description of the model, and add tags to the details page so it can be easily found. It also shows model complexity, ranging from simple, to moderate and complex. It is possible for modelers to create collections of models on the website, and the website uses algorithms to determine similar models.
