Are you importing this model into a drafting view? Also, which program is creating the DWG file (AutoCAD, ADT, etc)?

Is your dwg file a site plan?
I Import dwg files in quite frequently, but only floor plans and elevations to work from.
could you be more specific about what it is your trying to import.

I always purge my dwg files before I import them to Revit. I also make sure that everything it set to 1 layer so that revit doesn't need to create more information.

the dwg was made from an earlier version of autocad.
