I have a lot I downloaded (a train station w/subway) - but when you go to underground mode to connect subway - the lot's model is viewable obstructing the subway connection.

How can I fix this???

You can't change that, all subway stations appear in the underground view.  If it is big you just have to guess if it connects. Usually the connection is in the center.

Wrong forum. Moved to Lot Editor and Plug-in Manager where the topic fits the forum. Please try and place threads in the correct forum next time

actually i was kinda under the impression that if that happens the entire building is a station.

To see where exactly the subway connector really is, you can use the iLive (sorry, can't think an easier way):

- Backup your station's installation folder

- In iLive, open the lot file and find the building's exemplar.

- Delete the Resource Key Type 1 (or 4 ?) property.

- Save the datfile and exit. Now the main building won't appear.

- Open your city, plop the station; check where the connector is (and better write down the position). Or you can exit to region without saving, lay the subway tunnels and then save.

- Exit the game without saving, and restore your station's installation folder.

- Open your city, and plop your station normally.

 

Hope this has helped you.

The whole building is the station, and why it shows in the underground view.  But the connection is just the size of the default station, one tile.  I had a custom lot with a Las Vegas Casino that was a subway, bus, and train station, it was about 6x8 tiles but the subway connection was still one tile.
