Using WallMan in 3D with 2D dwg-file

I’m trying to use Win Prop for a simulation of a Wi-Fi Network inside a building. I want to import a dwg file in WallMan but there is always one coordinate missing. What do I have to change to make it work like in this video? The Video itself works fine for me.

    Maybe the .dwg file is really a 2D file or WallMan treats it as such. Note that the person in the video is not importing a .dwg file; he is actively drawing. In the beginning, he had defined that every line he draws will be extruded by several meters in the vertical direction.

    You can try to draw in a similar way on top of the 2D image you have in the XY plane.

    As an alternative, in external software, convert the structure to Nastran format (a mesh with flat triangles, not curvilinear triangles) and import the .nas file into WallMan. That should come in as a 3D structure.
