I am very new to ArchiCAD11 after years of using AutoCAD. Is it possible to view 2d lines in the 3d view mode?

Any dwg/dxf that is opened as a GDL object is viewable in 3D, but the content cannot really be edited, much less controled via layers. 2D as well as 3D info will be viewable in 3D.

Now, when I am opening a .dwg file in archicad that is drawn with lines existing at various elevations, and archicad is making the drawing information 2d, does that mean all of the lines are being 'flattened' to 0' elevation (or whatever the pre-set elevation is for the particular story I'm xrefing )??All 2d lines in ArchiCAD have no 3d information associated with them. They are nowhere in 3d space. You shouldn't think of them being at a particular height or level. You don't have to (and can't) 'flatten' them.
So if the survey dwg file has all the lines drawn at 670-680', when I bring the file to archicad it automatically brings all the line work to the story's elevation and does not require me to lower the xref by 680' to get it to 0?
