When downloading a model is it important that the files is the same place as they are in the .zip file. For example the files contents will look like this:

Code:
CloneTrooperGun\ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor8.blp
CloneTrooperGun\Textures\CloneTrooper.blp
CloneTrooperGun\CloneTrooperGun.mdx

What you will have to do is to make it look the exact same in the Import Manager by clicking on each file and set their custom path to the path as they are in the .zip file.
It doesn't have to look like this, it could also be like this:
Code:
sandman\sandman.blp
sandman\sandman.mdx
It could also look totally different. Just follow the .zip files paths then it would work...

If you look at the file where you download it should say certain path files and directories. An example of this would be the boat ship model found at [web:475c9d02d1]http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Models&ID=1607&sid=[/web:475c9d02d1] you need to import all of these files into your map, then rename one to units\woodelf\Battleship\battleship.blp and the other to buildings\woodelf\entgather\entgather.blp. It should be fairly obvious as to which is which as the default name has warcraft3import\buildings\woodelf\entgather\entgather.blp or somehting to that effect.

After you make these changes and save you will need to close the editor and then reopen it, then it should all work out.
