No, you can't. C3D neds to be able to read the dwg containing the surface. There are two things stopping it from doing so....2012 cannot read/open a 2013 dwg file. And even if it could, C3D has never been able to read the C3D objects from newer versions.

 

Best bet: Export the surface from 2013 to LandXML, then import that into the 2012 dwg. It won't be dynamic, however.
