DWG model didn't show up in 3D

Anonymous
Not applicable
Testing ArchiCAD 22 for a research project, I'm starting with a DWG model, even if I will work mostly with BIM one.

I didn't find a way to make the model showing up in 3D, even if all the other 3D tools I'm testing on didn't have any problem on that. Using hardware with Ryzen CPU, GTX 1070 GPU, 32GB RAM, if that matters

Seeking help I already check https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/knowledgebase/43123/ and I didn't find any of this problems.

Attached current Archicad 2D and 3D view, and Allplan 3D standard view.
Any suggestion is welcomed.

No, I already tried that, also every selection command appear to be hidden in the toolbar.
Design>Convert selection to Morph(s) is disabled

Seems to me really odd I can in fact simply Open the file, next I can select elements in 2D, but I'm then unable to view it in 3D.

Can you upload this file with this single element in it in PLA format to Dropbox or similar, so I can download it and take a look at it?

Hi Davide,

I managed to open the DWG file as a GDL Object, save it, and place it into the Project. Then it appears both in 2D and 3D and I can also select it. I could also convert it into Morphs, it became over 7000 Morph elements.
Which ARCHICAD version are you using?

Can you share what you have exactly done, not a CAD expert here.
