Beginner - Having issues with downloading carpet samples

Hi,

I'm looking to add to the out of the box carpet and paint samples that come with Sketchup. I'd like to find a nice light gray (single color) fur carpet. I'm looking at the 3D warehouse at items like this:
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=1d2d4a72d27519101b3e6b75a323070

I tried downloading and I'm having two issues:
1. The new sample does not show up in the materials window under carpets.
2. If I click on import directly, then click on the surface, I get a weird transparent looking mixture as opposed to the regular carpets that when I paint them on behave as you'd expect.

Please help. I'm a frustrated beginner.
