viewing 2d survey/site plan in 3d perspective

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am very new to ArchiCAD11 after years of using AutoCAD. Is it possible to view 2d lines in the 3d view mode? I have xreferenced a survey that is drawn in 3d with 2d linework. I have used the 'elevate' command to hopefully set the survey at close to the elevation of the building model. Is there a way to visually verify the location of the lines in 3d? Whenever I hit F3 to go to the 3d mode, only 3d objects are visible. In AutoCAD it is so simple to orbit or get a front or side elevation view to check the locations of 2d lines. Am I missing something really obvious here?
Thank you,
jp

If you have a DWG with the contours on correct elevations, use ArchiTerra to convert it
