import of 3D DWG items

our company is thinking about switching to Archicad.
We have an extensive 3D DWG Library. I'm wondering if those items will be useable at all in ArchiCAD.

Mostly I want to use architectural embellishments.
Can I apply a material ?
I know they won't be adjustible like GDL items but can I at least get a schedule with quantities and item names ?

Thanks for any input.

All your dwg libraries can be transformed into AC Lib Parts. And you can apply materials to them too.
And as many insertion points in the 2D symbol as you like.

They were not adjustable in Autocad neither, were they? So how would AC decide which part you would want to adjust?!

...and what would be the steps to perform this transformation
