I could be that the CAD is at the wrong scale, either way too big or way too small or that it is far from the origin.

Start by looking at the ModelBackground Properties window to get a clue.

From there you can also change the scale and position:

Hey @Nikhil Rane, along with the suggestion from Patrick, there are some more things in the documentation for importing CAD drawings and floor plans that you can try. I suggest going through the section for "Preparing Floor Plan Files Before Importing" first. You can also look in the section for "Troubleshooting Floor Plans", which includes the suggestions for scale and location that Patrick already mentioned.
