7. New models do not appear to be in the models' list.
The OrthoCAD models are stored on a networked computer. In the “Open” menu, click the drop down box labeled "Look In." Find the computer that hosts the models by browsing the network (either “Network Neighborhood” or “My Network Places”). If this location is unknown open the "File" menu and choose "Download", "Setup" and note the location labeled "Model Storage Destination." This is where models are located.

8. Automatic download stopped functioning. 
Even if the downloading computer is left on all the time and the Internet connection is operating, it is possible for a program to get "stuck" in memory. Re-booting the computer should solve this problem.
