Trying to import a cad file.

Moved UCS origin in CAD to the middle of the pile of drawings. 

 

When I import nothing shows up. 

I get the following warnings.

Hi! what happens if you change center to center in the import dialog box?

Revit doesn't read UCS in the drawing. Revit only accept WCS. So you have to physically move the entire drawing to 0,0 in AutoCAD or you set the CAD link as center to center instead of origin to origin.

Center to center doesn't have any impact. 

 

I had to move the cad file to its WCS origin as suggested.  No idea what UCS vs WCS is analogous to in Revit - project vs Survey? 

 

Now the issue is that it imports like below. Essentially missing half the walls, what's going on? Is there a better way of getting things from revit to CAD?
