Steven the text appears to be the invert levels of pipes so is underground, I can not see ground level text hence why I said all at 0.0. Yeah I am a CIVIL engineer.
The answer seems to be go back a few steps how was the original dwg made ? If it was traced over aerial photo etc then no levels, in saying that CIV3D has various tools to overlay linework over a 3d surface, the 3d surface maybe from a source like Google maps. Same with image can drape over surface.
I did 1 3d of a building as a simple example of adding structures.
The question is like reverse engineer but there is no data.
This image is a 3D surface but linework is 2D done on purpose that way.
