DWG Topography import problem

I have a DWG file which I gathered from Google Earth. When I try to import it into the Revit nothing appears. I'm stuck in this part. I've tried couple options from internet, however non off them solved it. I believe it is because of my DWG file. I wanted to ask on forum to see if we can find a solution together.

 

I'm leaving down my dwg file.

Link it auto center to center, choose proper import units, in a site plan, no view crop, unlimited view range top and bottom, high cut plane. Make sure import categories is turned on for the view.

 

Just looked at the DWG, the contour lines don't appear to be correct on elevation.  You could open the file AutoCAD, use Flatten command, then change each line to its elevation based on the annotation (use the correct units).

Open your DWG and look at it in Elevation. You'll see what's going on.

Try this one.  I am guessing the proportion and units so it maybe wrong, but you will get the idea how to fix it.

There is absolutely nothing of value coming from this DWG.  Don't use it.
