Axonometric view from a 2D DWG file

Hi, I have a plan of a building which is in DWG and I need to put it into an axo. What would the best way be in Archicad?
Thanks

Try opening the DWG as a library object (FILE menu > Libraries & Objects > Open Object).
You will need to change the file type to DWG.
Then save this as an object and see what you get.

I have imported it and placed it but it doesn't show up in the axo.

I have found this but I can't make it work

I canìt make a morph out of the imported dwg somehow.

So far the best way is to apply a rasterised image of the axo to the surface of a solid. Anyone has any other idea except Rhino? lol
