I would like to upload model of the building to the website of 3D
Warehouse and create special formation of ballon
rather than having basic formation of balloon when the building will
be displayed at Google Earth.

Hi,

We don't currently provide a way for you to customize the balloons.
We realize that many people would like this feature, and we're looking
into some options, but so far haven't come up with a scalable
solution. (The custom balloons that are already in Earth required
significant, non-scalable engineering effort to implement, and we're
trying to get out of that business.) Instead, we suggest using the
Google Earth API (http://code.google.com/apis/earth/) on your own
website; with this approach you can use any KML you like instead of
the 3DWH balloons.

Hi,

minor ballon customizing you could do by embedding KML-compatible HTML-
tags right into the model description.
After being published in the GE layer, they work.

E.g. logo in the description
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2db930121a3f59c081b0d56f7467d8ca
apprears properly in the ballun of the building in GE.

hello chiriguinsky

hi chi

I have the same problem, my balloons do not work from Friday night
December 11, 2009

I have also seen that after several months have updated the
thumbnails, and

descriptions also change for months. has been a surprise, but my
balloons imagenn and html tags does not work and have been very ugly.

I doubt and that's what I like to know, if failure of the balloons is
because a general update of the models, or if it is only with my
models.

I doubt and that's what I like to know, if failure of the balloons is
because a general update of the models, but if it happens only with my
models or if due to your city modeling contest.

If anyone knows anything about it please tell


thanks

yo tengo el mismo problema, mis globos no funcionan desde ayer dia 11
dic 2009

Tambien he visto que despues de varios meses se han actualizado las
miniaturas, y

las descripciones que cambie tambien hace meses. ha sido una sorpresa,
pero mis globos con imagenes y tags html ya no funcionan y han quedado
muy feos.

Tengo la duda y es lo que me gustaria saber, si el fallo de los globos
es debido a una gran actualizacion general de los modelos, bien si
solo ocurre con mis modelos o si es debido al concurso de modela tu
ciudad.


Si alguien sabe algo al respecto que lo diga por favor
