Go to File -> GDL Object -> Open Object -> pick DWG format.

Sometimes, for some reason it does not preserve 3D data so it is much better to use 3ds import.

Cheers

It's probably just an earlier version of Archicad. (...ArchiGuide_Online_6o...= AC6 I'm guessing), but you're heading in the right direction in your screenshot.
