Option 1

Make sure the unit path is correct.When importing a file it usually say war3imported\bla\bla\bla , most models dont use that path , so you have to change it via the importing section in your WE , read the readme for the model and the path is not there then you must not change anything.

Option 2

If the paths are correct then try testing your map , it may be a purple cube and it may say that it was not able to load , but sometimes the model still works.

Option 3

NOTE: if it is a skin your importing then you must make sure your icon is imported correctly, after that you must change the ''Model File'' to a unit thats allready in war3 eg Units\Humans\Footman.mdl, you should find the Model file path in the Readme.

I hope this helps
