Discussions in the 3D Warehouse

Many of you are aware that there is a Google Group for geo-modeling enthusiasts. In the Group, folks help each other learn how to model for Google Earth, share tips and tricks, and get questions answered from the Google team.

We're enthusiastic about these discussions and happy to announce that we’ve improved the connection to the Google 3D Warehouse. Now, if you visit the 3D Warehouse in English you'll see links that previously took you to Google Groups will now go to a new page: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/forum (you can also find this link labeled “Forum” at the bottom of every page).

If you’ve visited our group previously, don’t worry, everything is still there - you're still signed up, the discussions are still there, and you will continue to receive email notifications if you had those set up. What we’ve added is a new, fast, and inviting way to browse and participate in the modeling community.

Some of you may have seen this in the Map Your World Community site we announced a few months ago. Same discussions, different home.

We’d like to know what you think! We’re working hard to add features to the discussion interface, and invite you to give us feedback. I’ve started a topic where you should feel free to participate.
