Hi aBit,
try to build not every detail (windows) of your house in sketchup
("save faces/triangles!"). Take your camera and make some photos of
your house and then create textures for your model. And have a look
how other modellers build GE models. Try the same like they do and
after download wait (minimum 30 days!).
I hope i can help you with this informations.
Regards,
MisterFoley

If status is "Awaiting review" continue waiting till 30 days.
If you building is in "Not accepted" state, then carefully read what
reason (criteria) is indicated.

I think that indicated criteria is (or will be): "Models should be
completely photo-textured."
Yes, use real photos in place of 3d-details.

They'll never place your model on the 3D buildings layer... They'll wait until someone else makes a model 10% the quality of your own and place it instead. You're better off just giving up. Your model will never be on Google Earth no matter how good it is; they only use the crappy ones.
 
Here is my model compared to the current model on Google Earth and to the actual building:

Google denied mine, and said that it wasn't fully photo-textured...the current one isn't photo-textured at all.

Hi Daniel,

Without a link to the model in the 3DWH, I can't tell why you might
have gotten that review. Sometimes the reviewers make mistakes; other
times, there's processing errors that cause a model to render
incorrectly in their judgment interface. However, you can always use
the "Tell us why we're wrong" link at the bottom of the model details
page to appeal the review, even if there's already a model live for
that building.

Why don't you photo texture the rest of your model and resubmit it?

Daniel,

Your model is indeed much better then the one currently in the layer.
I have accepted it, it should go live next week.

Thanks for your patience.

Mason
