We are working on a rather large (for us) construction project where the general contractor and subs are using BIM 360 models. I there a simple way to import a BIM into Autocad 2015? Any pitfalls to watch for?
TIA

Pitfalls - It will create a very large DWG with file if the BIM model contains multiple floors. You need to navigate in 3d, while adjusting view depths. I've viewed BIM models in NavisWorks and Microstation. There are ways to export two DWG. There are also tools to extract points for layout.
Take a look at http://www.autodesk.com/products/point-layout/overview&apos ;">Point Layout construction.
"Point Layout construction layout software helps contractors and subcontractors bring model accuracy to the field. Use model coordinate information at the job site to improve office-to-field efficiency and QA/QC, reduce rework, and increase construction site layout productivity."
