Sorry if this question is too basic but I'm a newby intern on my first day at an office.  Not a good start!    

I made a bunch of furniture family files by CAD importing existing 3D .dwg files into the family editor system family template.  (I do know this is a messy path but they are not meant to be editable in the future.  Just for temporary reference.) 

When I load and place my newly created furniture family files onto the floor plan, they show up in all views other than the floor plan.  They are simply non existant.  However, when I cut a section or look at it in 3d or a camera view, they are there and renderable.  Not sure why they do not show up in plan.  Any suggestions?  Is there a different workpath that I should have made these family files in? 

 Thanks!

In the family, did you set these imports to be visible in plan?
