Import objects from Acad?

I'm just starting messing with Revit (09). It is pretty cool, but I don't
really know how to do anything yet. Just marching through tutorials.

Now I have a large residential house drawn up in Acad LT. It's all 2D of
course.

But it is fairly complex. Will I be able to import some lines from Acad,
like the curved, sloped driveway, sloped retaining walls, outline of
buildings, things like that?

I will want to be able to import lines and paste them in the correct
location on the site plan so that I can use those lines to draw the Revit
objects to.

Can I do that pretty well?

I already imported the site topo, and that worked pretty well. Revit got
confused in it's understanding of the topo lines in some areas, not sure how
to fix that yet.

Yes very easy, import, link, my preference is set colors to black and white.
Do not explode it once you have brought it into your project. Then you can
draw over top of it.

Very good, I'm sure I'll get to that in the tutorials eventually.
