models are not showing up when i compile

Okay, i place a entity prop_static then goto browse models and put in a model from the props folder from cs_office. I put in the model table_meeting.mdl and it shows up fine in hammer then i goto compile and when i run it its like it had never been there! But another thing is when i place a barrel in as prop_physics it works fine. Im not sure whats wrong so please tell me what it is that i am doing wrong please.

If you bother to search for this problem, you'll find it's been asked several times before. http://www.snarkpit.com/forums.php?forum=6&topic=2356 is one instance. Last time I let someone ask this before I start deleting/indulging in mod-like powers :razz:
