While importing CAD drawings, did you check the option 'Current view only' ?

What you have been told is the correct process. You must be doing something different.

Im having the same problem, did you figure it out? I also for some reason cant see my building in two of the elevation views and when I create a new elevation all the curtain wall is missing, any suggestions?

If you go to visibility and graphics-->imported categories, is the box "show imported categories in the view" unchecked??
