Unless I don't understand your question, this is covered by
http://salilab.org/modeller/9.10/manual/node28.html

Modeller is not going to magically determine the interface region 
between your subunits and dock them, of course. You need to give it 
information about the interface between subunits (either by giving it a 
multimeric template, or by supplying it with subunit-subunit restraints 
if you only have monomeric templates).
