Model Rejected for Incomplete Texturing

[TC]

This is the umpteenth time I've re-edited and resubmitted my model for
Cassidy water, yet It always gets rejected for "Incomplete Texturing"

....but...

ALL the faces of the drawing have either a photo or one of SU built in
materials.

The buiding REALLY DOES look like that (cladding in front, masonary on
the sides)
- so what am I supposed to do???

[SittingDuck]

Go here to for all model feedback related complaints:

http://sites.google.com/site/3dwarehousemodelfeedbackissues/post-a-model

Mods I suggest you sticky this.

[Massimo DZ8]

Those issues are always somewhat scaring to me.
I hope the review process will be somehow streamlined this year.

Hi Everyone,

Please note that I need add you as a collaborator to post to the
Feedback Site. I went ahead and added you, AndrewF. To be given access
to post to the site, feel free to add your name to the following Page:

http://groups.google.com/group/SketchUp/web/3d-warehouse-model-feedback-issues

Howdy TC,

I'm sorry to hear that you're model keeps getting the same review. I
gave you permission to post your models to the Site that SittingDuck
suggested (many thanks SittingDuck!!). We'll take a look and see
what's going on.

Many thanks.

[Davenport GIS]

Keep in mind that there is another nagging issue here. If you edit a
model and re-upload it your status doesn't change, at least not at
first. It doesn't change until the updated model has been re-
reviewed. So your updated model may not have actually been reviewed
again, you may just be seeing the old message from the first time that
your model was reviewed. This is actually one of my big irritations!
Since the status doesn't change immediately, I don't know whether it
has been re-reviewed and I have been rejected again for the same
reason or if it hasn't been reviewed again. My apologies to
SketchupGuideTommy but I have sometimes gone straight to the Feedback
Site because I don't want to deal with this uncertainty. This is
something which probably needs to be addressed or there will be more
confusion.

Hi,

We recently made a change that should cause your review status to be
reset whenever you change your model. If you're not seeing this, can
you send a link to the model so we can take a look?

Thanks,
Rich

I think one of my models was a victim of this. I deleted it due to the
facts that if it won't upload why keep and waste my space. The thing
is that it was not a google earth model and all of it was textured but
no photo-real textures.
I could not figure it out so I might have gotten a little frustrated
when I tried to reupload it it didn't work the things I tried were
renaming the file, changing components, purging all of everything in
the model,retexturing every face but all failed and yesterday I
uploaded a model and it worked so I went back to that model but it was
still rejected so I deleted the 3.5mb file. I don't know why Macs are
so susceptible to these issues with the warehouse like slow upload,
rejections and catastrophic crashes. I,on behalf of all mac users for
sketchup, would like this and all sketchup issues fixed.
Mac user and sketchup user for now

Hi, i see models that are surely rejected by not existing buildings,
but GE's imaginary is old down there, plz add them:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?viewer=08022975720672249874&scoring=m
the models are really good. These are models of electric or water
systems in Argentina. I don't see everyday models like this.

Coming back to topic, i would like to be added in the Feedback Site, i
have plenty models rejected with no good reason.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that we're working on something that will
help address your concerns about models you feel were incorrectly
rejected. We hear you and the many others with similar issues -- I
understand that currently you really have no recourse except messages
to these Groups. Please do keep track of models you feel should be
included, and stay tuned for more.

I think the review process shouldn't be too strict for buildings that
aren't already on the map. I look at Boise, ID and I see many
buildings that have no texturing on them, yet these were obviously
approved by someone. There are a few models for Salt Lake, UT here in
the warehouse (mostly made by Orpheum) that are as good as his other
ones that have been approved, and yet they aren't on the map.

I can understand having strict standards for those hoping their model
will replace an existing model. Those need to obviously appear better
and more accurate, and not be huge files at the same time.

Furthermore, one always wonders if having no model is truly better than
having a sub-standard one. In my opinion, accepting more models,
especially in sparsely modelled areas would improve the GE experience
considerably even with "bad" buildings (whatever this means).

Massimo

[matthiasbasler]

Yeah, I fully agree.

Often the reviewers seem to be nitpicking when it comes to
misalignment of 1-2 m or an angle of 1°. Equally annoying is when I
get models rejected because I forgot do delete some small untextured
face(s) with the building which nobody would ever notice.

What makes me really mad is that in former times a rather large model
was included (rather unexpectedly) but now the reviewers refused to
update it by a newer, better version. Sure, it did have some small
glitches (which were so unobtrusive I never noticed them before), but
why reject a better model in favour of the older one which was
definitely worse???
I'll wait and see if they accept my (once more) corrected version.

Don't get my wrong, quality IS important, but the hurdles have been
pretty high lately.

[Federico Gabrielli]

Why does not the section "Post Your Model"?

I ask the reasons that I passed my models.

Argentina.

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cee1e4ddbfa0790464f1a526bbf95483

Incorrect scale......................... ?????

How can the scale when I have done wrong proportions with respect to
the steps where there is no distortion by not having a considerable
height?


They should fire the person responsible for qualifying models. The
scale is correct, because I base that holds the ladder in the museum
in the capture of Google Earth. The satellite Inclined took the
picture and really distorts the image

Incorrect alignment....................?????

As described above are wrong


sunken.........................????

They want to do if the ground is fiction? It is the rear of the
building and not sink almost nothing.

I'm Having the same review for my model
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=50d7ae180c13d4dd251b79d15837c469#

[KierovNick]

Anyone interested i advice to learn from already accepted models.

I was about to write new topic, but in the and i decide to write it
here.

Can anyone explain how this model got accepted to 3d layer in Google
Earth?

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=17c421120d01dadb248820710b84eff1&ct=mdsa

How could this model happen?
Even without dowloading i see three reasons (pointed out in acceptance
criteria) for which this model should have been rejected.

I wonder, because i have had models rejected for some reasons (reasons
i understand and agreed with) but this model is just givin me a
headache.
And there are still good modellers making their good models and afer
uploading they wait not to see if model was good enough to get
approved, but to see if they were not so lucky this time.

One good advise i have read about 'how to get model accepted'.
Download rejected model, copy/paste it to new model, delete the old
one and upload new. In many cases this helps because Google team have
no info about previous rejection and tho, look on model a bit
different way. And models actually ARE accepted even if nothing was
changed in it.
You may check this method on your own someday.

Just don't tell anyone ;P


What i want to say.. People who judge our model just somethines have
bad day.. we have to be understanding and tolerant and just upload our
models more than one once from time to time.

Or am i wrong?

GoogleGuide people... I just had a model reject because of a 2 meter
misalignment, which is truly funny, since it is located 500 meters
from a few models that are 20 meters misaligned, including one that is
in the middle of the road.
I aligned it now... hope its aproved. If not, I might resort to
KierovNick´s trick :)

[gestaltR]

Hey SketchUpGuides,
I just got three of my models rejected due to several reasons, but
really wonder when I see which other models were accepted. Here's my
favorite set of models where something with applying the strict Google
Earth criteria definitely went wrong:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=1cf8624313f6e5385d1ea3a39e575e57
<- Here, the entire castle seems to be way above ground. Got accepted
though.
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c94b206c9db5a7aaaeadbf02b94fda5c
<- Massive z-fighting and usage of non photorealistic textures. Got
accepted though.
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=41748fcbf0a7730143a80670047e839f
<- When I noticed that this building got accepted I was really
speechless!

If I use standard textures for example for this church here:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=f99296aa79457f6346741a5dbd0e4dd6
it gets rejected due to textures and "Terrain too built up". If Google
Earth says that there is a slope where the church is I have to build a
bit of terrain, otherwise the back end of the church would sink under
ground or the front would be hovering. So what am I supposed to do?
And the other thing, the textures: I tried to take photos of the
church and searched on the internet but there are always so many
plants and and other things in front of it that it doesn't make sense
to use them. The standard textures really do a much better job here in
my opinion.
Please rethink your strict criteria, please.
Regards, Chrischn

[KierovNick]

Google Team took revenge for my previous post.
My model got rejected. It is alligned well, whole textured, it has
everything to got accepted and even a bit more.
So.. the reason they rejected it was.....
(waiting with telling it makes it more dramatic)
.....
Better model existing!

Yes!
A better model..
Oh well.. i got defeated by someone.
This makes me wonder about where they are keeping well made hidden
models.. There is no model of this object on 3dWarehouse for i am, so
far, the only person that creates models in my City.
I looked everywhere.. there is no such model on
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/hidden

or even in
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/better

I guess the person that rejected it must have had a bad day and
already know the site
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/excuses4rejection

Thats sad.
But makes me think of something that would make a world of google a
better place.
In Acceptance Criteria they should add five reasons for rejection. So
it all would be clear to everyone.

1. Bad Mood. - What do you want from me? I ain't acceptin it! Just
back off! NEXT!!
2. Bored - I was tired clicking the "Accept" button. Just had to click
something else. Reload model and it'll be ok.
3. Bad luck - Today i accept/reject models by throwing a dice. Even
number means model should be accepted, odd number is for rejection.
You got 5.
4. No reason at all - You are not my boss and i don't need to explain
myself to you.
5. History conflict - I don't know.. Something's seem not to be right
in the shape of that model. It reminds me my pet that i incidentally
killed by putting it in to microwave when i was a kid. Bad memories..
I hope you understand i can't accept it.

I'd realy like to see one of these reasons rather than wondering wtf
is wrong with my model and what should i do next.

[SketchUp Guide Allison]

Hi everybody,

If you have a model that has been rejected for a reason that you
disagree with, please use the "Appeal This Review" button on the
bottom of the details page.

Hi KierovNick,

Could you link to the model that got rejected "better model exists"?
I can't seem to find it. Sometimes, with duplicate review, two models
arrive in the same window; the model that gets rejected will get
immediate feedback, while there is a slight delay before the better
model actually goes live. In the worst case, it's possible that the
better model fails processing downstream of duplicate check and never
goes live. When this happens the software is supposed to go looking
for other models as candidates, but there's a nontrivial lag. If you
point me at the model I'll go see if I can figure out what happened.

Note that if you're using the delete-and-re-upload method for trying
to get models back into the queue, you may be shooting yourself in the
foot; if your model overlaps with a copy of itself, it goes through
duplicate check. This is not desirable and is very likely to confuse
the reviewer.

Hi Christian,

Many thanks for pointing these models out. I have removed all three of
these models. As I've mentioned in previous posts, models that do not
meet our stated acceptance criteria can, have and do slip through the
cracks from time to time. The new pipeline process that I outlined a
few weeks ago should greatly improve things, but in the meantime we
have more cleanup to do. There a lots of models in Earth so we really
need your collective eyes to help maintain a consistent level of
visual quality in the models that appear.

Happy Sketching.

Hi Bruce,
thanks for your answer.
I've found heaps more of these kind of 3d-buildings in germany. Do you
want me to mail a list to you?
Good night,
Christian

[KierovNick]

Helo, Allison

Well.. yes. I have deleted it and uploaded new version.
I have changed it a bit in ground level, so it is not exact copy of
previous model (checksums wouldn't definitelly be the same).
Not it is:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=76352041d967266f28a87d688ca4711
and i don't think that i have shot myself in a foot. How can i
duplicate unexisting in 3dwarehouse model?
If i upload after deletion of old one, however i look at it there's
only one copy of it especially that the previous one was rejected so
no additional copies were made by the system and even if it would,
like i said.. i have changed it a bit.
So i think this is the most certain way to get fast through the
accepting queue.
But, i am not a god and sometimes i can be wrong.

Anyway, my model was rejected before i have uploaded the second one so
i couldn't confuse reviewer the way you've described.
So.. when i'm looking at the situation i see that my model was
rejected without any good reason.
You may see it different way. Thete could be some glitch.. who knows.
But if you look for comments above, i am not the only person with that
conclusion. What's more, there are situations, when models get
accepted even if they shouldn't.
I just can not imagine the glitch that could make that happen.

What are my conclusions, then?

I don't care.
If someones model of lunch box gets accepted as his home.. it doesn't
change a thing for me.
If my model get rejected, i stay calm, because one way or the other i
will get that model accepted, if i know that it should be accepted.
It just may take a bit more time.

You could ask, why have i wrote here anyway.

It is message for You.
There is something wrong with accepting system and you could work on
some bugfix for it.

But.. aside of the things you do wrong.. You do a great job!
And seriously.. You do great job usually..
'Cuz You are not gods, and sometimes you can be wrong.

Cheers to You

And.. thanks for pointing me the possibility to "Appeal This Review".
Haven't knew about it.

[SketchUp Guide Allison]

Hi KierovNick,

Aha, I suspect I know what happened to your model. Models go into
duplicate check anytime they *overlap* with another model by more than
a trivial amount. It's not just a matter of there being another model
of the exact same building; they can collide with nearby models in a
way that causes somebody to have to go review them. It looks like
you've got another accepted building that nudges up against the
viaduct. Without having the paper trail to go with the previous
version of your model (another reason not to go the delete-and-re-
upload route) it's hard to say for sure, but I bet they're close
enough to force a review, and the reviewer looked at them and liked
the building better. ("So take both!" Yes, and we often do, but it's
sometimes difficult to tell whether two semi-overlapping models are
what the modeler intended.) It looks like you re-uploaded your model
a couple days ago; it's making its way through the system, and I'll
keep an eye on it. Definitely use the appeals feature next time, or
if you're really confused about what's happening with one of your
models email me before deleting the model so I can go check it out.

Thanks!

These people are incredibly lame, or do not care to explain fully what
they complain about a model. I've submitted the 3D model of the
building I work in, and the first time the model was rejected because
supposedly it was a "non-existent building". Ha! This is a new
building erected since 2005 and just because Google Earth did NOT had
an actual photo of the building's area (the photo on Google Earth was
before the construction of the building even began) they deny my
model?

Now (must have been the email I sent regarding the non-existant
building, with photos of the actual building there) they updated the
Google Earth photos. Now my model is not accepted because it is both
(according to them) floating and sunken. C'mon... the terrain was
moved to make room for the construction. A hill is still represented
in Google Earth were there is none anymore. Also, they complain about
"incomplete texturing". How can a black/red building have incomplete
texturing if I have included photo texturing for both white/red?

My model is at: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d9e4400a77e2015c62b276817bf30654

Hey Elias,
just have a look at the models above and you will immediately see
what's wrong with these buildings. Most of the them have incomplete or
absolutely no textures at all.
Here's your school building ( http://www.optonet.inter.edu/images/schoolfront.jpg
). I reckon you should build some kind of platform for your building
so it's not hovering anymore. And the other thing is, that there are
almost no textures at all in your model.
Good luck and laterz,
Christian

Elias. Santiago.

Like gestaltR said, Your building has almost no textures at all, the
ones that are included are not photo textures.
You have added some colors to the model, but painting it that way is
not texturing.
What you should do to get model accepted is:
1. Add realistic textures to model.
2. Delete Bryce
3. Delete useless geometry
4. Lower building to ground level. Terrain is flat enough so modelling
additional terrain would be unnecesarry.

Good luck.

hi,

i have the same problem that many users, incomplete texturing... i
have three models rejected, but i cant find what face or faces have
the problem (a button "check for incomplete texturing" would be a
plus, hehe)i have used photos or materials from the library.

What can i do for improving the models?

Thanks.

[gestaltR]

Hi Max,
I reckon the problem is always the same: you used too many or even
only Sketchup standard textures, which are not photorealistic. If you
do that your model will not be accepted. Replace them by real
photographs, especially the white surface areas just like in your
'Edificio de Julian Sanz Ibáñez' model. :)
Regards ...
Christian

Okay..

But what about this model.
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=96d75aa10c56a18ed05c2287abe6eb35
It is not mine, but i know the dude that created it.

This model was rejected for incomplete texturing.
This kinda sucks.

He wrote something than i totally agree with.

It's all about the fact taht ppl spend some time on models, sometimes
few hours or longer, to add it free of charge to Google database and
then it is rejected because there is noone that will even look at it
for just a few seconds to see if automatic procedures that used to
fail before, failed once again and rejected model.
If there would be checking on automatically rejected models there
would be much bigger chance to You Google to find the reasons why
automats fail.

And.. important thing. Giving "No reason" as reason of rejecting
model is just... You know.. even my 5yo nephew understands that
saying "No, because no" is not an option while trying to refuse
something.
If user get that message, what should he do?
Will it be ok if user writes you "Accept it because i say so!" and his
model will be accepted?

If not..
"No reason" is no reason and should not be used at all.
