If
you’re like me, you’ve had a good model rejected and wondered why. All
models are reviewed by a group of moderators [see also How the pipeline works].
This means that a real live person looks at every model to be sure it
meets the standards of Google Earth. This also means that there is room
for error in those judgements. We are constantly improving the pipeline
by providing the moderators with your feedback to improve their training
and judgement accuracy.
If your model is rejected and you believe it should be accepted, there are several steps you can take:
A little more on appeals... action starts from your model’s page on the 3D Warehouse. At the bottom you’ll see a link titled “Tell us why we’re wrong”.
From the ‘Tell us why we’re wrong’ link, you are prompted with a dialogue box.
Here is your chance to select why your model should be accepted. You can help the appeal reviewer by including any information available, such as “this building is newer than the imagery” or “the existing model is incorrect because it’s too tall, and mine is accurate”. Including links to images or websites supporting your argument will be especially helpful.
To reiterate the message here, the fastest and most efficient way get a model live is to follow the acceptance criteria and use the appeals process. I hope this helps, and happy modeling!
If your model is rejected and you believe it should be accepted, there are several steps you can take:
- Acceptance Criteria: Double check with the Acceptance Criteria and be sure nothing is missing. Common mistakes are tiled textures or multiple buildings in one model. The acceptance criteria site contains lots of examples that apply the most commonly occurring issues.
- FAQ: Check out the Frequently Asked Questions for Google Earth and Maps. It’s a lot of information, but all very informative.
- Community: This forum! Your fellow modelers are a fantastic resource to help you with the process.
- Appeals: The Appeals process is a way for you to communicate with a senior reviewer and explain why your model should be accepted. We closely monitor appeals for feedback on quality of reviews from the initial review pipeline. You’re directly improving the quality of reviews by utilizing this function.

You can apply necessary changes in sketchup and re-upload, but that creates a new model.
So you have to klick on "edit" in your 3d-warehouse, you can edit the model itself, without creating a seperate upload. This updates your model, the description being preserved.
