Such as apartment building the file can't be generated as DXF out? Is there any easy way to generate DXF out for large buildings?
Abdul,
are there any other packages that can do this?
Entire AutoCAD floor plans with full details ( like the one you attached ) are not suitable for import into STAAD.Pro. You should rather clean up the CAD file to get the center lines of the floors and it would be more meaningful to create a dxf out of those for importing into STAAD.Pro.
Some guidelines on generating dxf files for import into STAAD.Pro, are available at

Having said that, it is pretty straightforward to have such wireframes generated in STAAD.Pro itself using the various modeling tools available in STAAD.Pro. So that is also something worth considering.
I wonder how importing in STAAD compares to ETABS, SAFE, SAP2000 , Strusoft, SCIA, Prokon, RISA,
ADAPT, PLAXIS 3D, ROBOT
