I tried to upload a model to the 3-D warehouse and got a message that “Only files of type KMZ (KML 2.1 or greater) can be uploaded” and that “Thumbnail image is required for uploaded files”
My model is of type .skp
Is this a new Trimble policy?
I’d attach the model but .skp files are not one of the FWW permitted files – “Allowed Extensions: txt pdf rtf doc wpd bmp wps cwk ai psd tif mp3 mpg zip ppt xls wmv wmf htm html“

Seems a little confusing.
Apparently if you REPLY to a post, rather than start a new one you can attach an .skp file.
"Files must be smaller than 6 MB and have one of the following extensions: jpg jpeg gif png txt doc xls pdf ppt pps odt ods odp skp."
That's a nice looking drill press table. I was able to upload it just fine right after opening the model and purging unused stuff. Here's the link: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=dea294736b8e0a29dacaee28e9c945ab
I won't leave it there unless you want me to. I don't really put many models there anyway.
I don't know why you would get that error message unless the model was geo-located maybe. It doesn't appear to be when I look at Model Info, though. What method did you use to try to upload it.
E-mail me if you want.
Method Used
After working on the model I saved it and went to File/Close. I got a pop-up asking if I'd like to share the model. I chose the "Share Model..." button.
I was asked to sign into my Google Account which went OK.
A pop up asked for permission to "View and Manage your 3D Warehouse data". I chose the "Allow access" button. and got the message shown in the first post in this thread.
BUT today I rebooted my computer and tried a second time as above. This time the model was accepted. Don't know what to say about that other than I'm glad it got uploaded.
I see the one you uploaded. How did you get your name on it? Mine is anonymous.
Glad it worked this time. I have SketchUp set up so it doesn't ask me if I want to share my models since I rarely ever do. I uploaded via File>3D Warehouse...
I'm not sure what you mean about it having my name on it. Are you referring to the credit when you download and open it? I suppose that's because I uploaded it to the warehouse and to do that I had to sign in with my account. Why yours doesn't show your name, I don't know. the file you posted here didn't have you listed in the credits. You can do that even on models you don't upload under Model Info>Credits..
I'll be deleting your model from my warehouse collection as soon as I post this so then only yours should show.
