Or at the very least create an 'interfeance model' of the slicer, that
just approximates it's required outside clearances, and bring the
DWG's you've got into the Family and set the visibility controls so
that they are what shows in plan & elevation, yet you still have this
3D form you can use to check clearances and such... it might be faster...

If you are trying to model this meat slicer you may want to create a family using the family editor. 2D geometry is not going to represent its image properly in Revit model views and it is apparent that what you need to show is a 3D model of this meat slicer.
