How to make visible an imported dxf elev file from Drone Deploy into Revit 2018

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Having trouble finding the specific procedure to make visible (in a Revit 2018 project) an elevation dxf contours file exported from Drone Deploy software. I get this error from Revit when I import the said dxf file. I'm brand new to Revit and am having difficulty finding where to check for the active view, its parameters & visibility settings are located. If someone can point me in the correct direction I would be extremely appreciative. Thank you. Roger.

Having trouble viewing your DXF?

A commonly-seen error when importing a DXF into Revit is 'None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: Level 1 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings.'

You can troubleshoot this problem by viewing this Autodesk Support article, or by contacting Autodesk support.

Go to a 3D view and Zoom to Fit. Do you see it?

Open the site plan view, uncrop the view, link the DXF file in (center to center) and make sure the box "Visible in Current View Only" is NOT ticked.

Hi BarthBradley,

I thank you very much for your assistance. In addition to your steps and the other contributors suggestion re: 3d view settings; my main problem was not importing the correct DXF from Drone Deploy. Once I tried the Geotiff Contours DXF as opposed to the Elevation Contours DXF from DD the sketch presented. See attached jpg. Thank you very much again for your time. It is very  much appreciated.
