Link multiple Floors CAD to Revit - Best Practices

Multiple Floors CAD

I got CAD file of a building look live above. I want to create model of each floor of the building in Revit so I need to link CAD to Revit.

As there are 7 floors, how should I link it?

Should I link CAD 7 times for each floor? How can ensure that each floor is correctly aligned?

Yes, crystal clear. Thank you, I appreciate your suggestion.

Hi guys, one tip I have for you if you are following my method is to set up a view template that takes control of VG settings for the linked CAD file. Tune that up so one level looks the way you want it to (in our case this involves turning off layers (like architectural tags), overriding layer line weights (like walls and other things we want to pop out), and setting other layers to halftone (grid lines, plumbing, furniture). The apply that view template to all the floor plans.
