FOLLOW UP – Adding DWG Floor Plans to Different Levels in Revit
Jan 21, 2009 BIM, Revit, latest
Following up on my earlier post, Starting Your Revit Model from a 2D AutoCAD Drawing, a comment was posted asking how to insert multiple floor plans from AutoCAD to their correct levels in Revit. When you’re ready to import the first floor plan, switch to your first floor plan (or level 1) view. Then, click File –> Import/Link –> CAD Formats… and within the Import/Link CAD Formats dialog box, notice at the bottom-left it says Current view only (fig. 1). Select this option and click Open. For the next floor, switch to that view (floor) and repeat the process. Be aware that the inserted DWG’s will ONLY be visible in the views that you imported them into.

Good post. But can I recommend saving before you insert as this tends to crash if the floor plans are quite large !!
