Cad to Walls - some walls do, some don't

I've imported a duplex townhouse CAD .dwg file from an architect.  I created some walls that match the two wall thicknesses the architect used (8" and 3-1/2").   I then turned off all but walls, door, and window layers and then converted Cad to Walls.  I attached a photo of the result.  This is all one floor (plan view, without mirroring other floors).  Any idea how I can get more walls to be recognized by Chief?  I see Chief only allows for two wall types in this type of conversion.  I have a bunch of these to do...just want to maximize use of the software.

Thanks for the comments.  I had to abandon it, and I plan to draw this massive project from scratch.  I don't believe it's all Chief's fault.  The architect has a lot of unconnected lines, and misaligned walls (more lines), and don't think Chief knows what to do with it.
