I have a four story building and created five levels including one for Site.  I have imported a AutoCAD 2D structural Foundation Plan on Site level.  I need to refer to it while designing details on the upper levels.

How do I accomplish this most efficiently? Thanks for your help.

You can have the site level underlaid on your other levels in the view properties...

However, I would import the DWG with "current view only" - this renders it a 2D object rather than 3D.  Then just copy/paste aligned into the desired views.  I would then delete them once I've finished with them.

HTH.
