did you add the .s & .sd lines to your REF file?

Do you get an error message when you try to place them?
If yes, what is it?

When it's placed, but you can't see it, does it show the coordinates in the Object Window:

Ignoring the Properties Window, the Object Window is in the top right.
If Yes, does it show a shadow, but no object?

If it's placing the object, but not showing it, then chances are you didn't set the LOD amount. If you use Gmax, this is easy to overlook, and to export the model with 0 as the LOD. In that case, you won't see it in the RE, but Sview will show it.

Do you get an error while placing the objects in the RE? Is the object visible in the wire-frame modus (press W)? Did you use spaces in the names of textures, objects or sub objects (this is a no-no).

Some things to look for.

Hope this helps.
