Imported models question

Hello human beings,

When I import a model I create in another program do I need to have two copies of it?
One which is the ACTUAL model and another which is the GameObject with the components on it.

Thanks in advance,
Ethan

Nope, all you need is the GameObject. You should be able to drop the model into your assets and then create a new instantiation of the model as a gameObject inyour hierarchy view.
