Give us more information to analyse. Saying that you imported a model incorrectly and showing that the model importing is a failure ( a scene with shadows) doesnt really help in this case. Give us the model name, path, skins and texture paths in the importer etc.

first thing, after you export it, you have to convert it to mdx, second thing, drop it in your wc3 folder and use it from there, if you have specified an incorrect file path, it will obviously not show up, when you are exporting, your model has to be selected. If the problem continues, press copy to listener, open listener, copy all the text into a blank word document, and chande the extension to .mdl, and then convert to mdx, and see if that works.if none of my suggestion help, just try and save the map file, and restart WE since for some odd reason sometimes WE doesnt want to show things....
