first of all, which "plan" are you trying to open? If it is very recent,
there may be many parts in it referenced that are not part of the OFFICIAL

the "unofficial" parts list (place them in your models directory and have
MLCAD scan there or put them right in with your official parts directory and
rescan)? You can find these unofficial parts at
http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/
Hope that helps.
