I use Sketchup models in computer-generated KML files to be opened in Google Earth, because by using a model (rather than an icon) I can ask GE to rotate it to any desired orientation. For example, I use this to put wind barbs or tidal current arrows onto GE. This works fine. However, my models are not clickable in GE, despite them having a name and description. They are also not clickable if I simply PREVIEW IN GOOGLE EARTH from within Sketchup.
Is it correct that sketchup models in GE are not clickable? (It seems at odds with the earlier use of sketchup models for GE 3D buildings which, I understood, were clickable) If they are clickable, what do I need to do to make them so?

I will probably uninstall and try and get a refund and then moveover to some other software that includes its own renderer as this sketchup is just becoming too convoluted with too many devs on board! a case of too many cooks spoil the broth! Id expect this sort of thing to happen with opensource not commercial software???!!! google seems to be going the way of microsoft and releasing versions of their software that in truth arent actually ready for the public yet they still put them to market and sell them as stable and supported? why would they do this?? just pisses off their customers who cant use the software to its full potential. I dont know maybe I am talking out of turn here? just extremely upset at the minute as my expectations were very high for the new version of Sketchup and it has been the biggest let down yet this year! May even give software the boot altogether and go back to hand drawing! while it may only be 2D at least I know that my hand can do it and I'm not going to get some spasm in my wrist telling me I cant do it that way because bla bla bla. very very disappointed ...
