What is the best way to import site data from my surveyor?

Which method works best when it comes to importing elevation, lot lines, etc. from my surveyor? I have tried a .dwg without success. Is there a preferred file system to use that makes creating a site plan with accurate elevations successful? I have a lot with large boulders and varied elevations that I have had a surveyor do an accurate representation. I just need to know the best way to cleanly get that into the program. My surveyor is able to send me a variety of files, the question is, which is the one that works best with Chief.

Thanks!

You can use the "Import Terrain Data" feature with any of the listed formatting options.  However you will need to be careful to make any adjustments of items that the surveyor measured that are not at grade level.  You can then overlay the .dwg file or just connect the elevation points with plot lines if they include the corner points.
