Launched: Tell us why we’re wrong
May 22nd, 2009 | Published in Google SketchUp
We're working hard to display the very best 3D models in Google Earth. To accomplish that, we have dedicated, keen-eyed, folks looking at each model in the Google 3D Warehouse that's marked as "Google Earth Ready." If a model looks like a great fit, it's marked as "Accepted." Sometimes, though, a model needs a little more work before it's ready for Google Earth. We give a few tips on how to improve the model so that it may appear in Google Earth later. You can see these tips on your model's page in the 3D Warehouse.
I'll be the first to say that giving feedback for these models is both a science and an art. In other words, we may not always get it right. In the past, this was a problem because folks didn't have a great way to tell us that we're wrong and why. Sometimes, our satellite imagery may be inaccurate, or perhaps your building has no textures on one side because it's in a dense downtown area.
If you think we're totally off our rocker, now there's a way for you to help us correct our mistake. You'll see a link at the bottom of a review that says "Think this review is incorrect? Tell us why we're wrong." Click on the link, and you can send us a note, include a link to an image - whatever you think it takes to get us back on our rocker. We'll look forward to hearing from you.
