I wonder if any of you guys out there experience revit poor graphics display when importing CAD data. I.e. importing a site plan into revit and trying to align boundaries. The snaps don't snap to where you want it to go. The displays are slightly off.

If the snaps are slightly off there is a good chance that the dwg has z values on some of the lines (they are actually correct). To avoid this import with "current view only" selected. This ensures the data imported is 2D only. HTH.

Thank you Mr Spot, I just tried it, still no good. I opened the autocad file ensure that my boundaries are set as z=0 still the snaps are offset a little I tried it both times using 1:2 and 1:50 view display still the same issue they just don't snap accurately. But when you print it is fine. It's a display issue with REVIT.

How far are you zoomed in? I've noticed that when zooming in really really close with thin lines enabled revit cannot calculate the intersection of the lines. Are you noticing it with thin lines turned off? Sounds odd as I haven't experienced this before.
