Complete Noob Question

[pandapooh]

Hey, I just signed up after a lot of surfing within this website.
I'm not even sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but anyways;

Sometimes (not all of the time) I import a model, and put it onto an existing character, that character dissapears, or turns invisible.

Can someone explain to me how to fix this? Importing models onto other characters worked, it seems that only some it does this.

Thanks a lot,
pandapooh

Depends on the model, most of the time when this happens, you forgot to skin it. Go to the download page for the model, scroll down about half way, before the comments. Then you should see a panel that says "Paths" then it should say either something or "none".
If it says something like "WormStatue.blp" then go to the import manager, you should have downloaded the main .mdx file and one or more .blp. Click on the blp that matches the line at the page. Then copy the line from the page and paste it into the .blp. Remember the check, "use custom model path".
