"not showing in my 1st to 2nd last floor plan"
You probably need to set the "view range" for those levels.

- It is possible that when you made the Insert dwg> import CAD you checked the option Curent View Only
- In the levels in which you don't see the imported dwg look if in Properties > Visibility/Graphics Overrides > Imported Categories > Visibility , the inserted dwg object is checked . It happend to me that an inserted dwg had also some hidden layers. Control the layers visibility
- Check the View Range from Properties
