Hello,
I received a .dwg file from elsewhere and was asked to render it in 3D, it's a 2D design of some pipes in a house. When I open the file I am greeted with the prompt
The drawing you have opened or referenced contains custom objects created by an unavailable ObjectARX application. You do not need the original application to display proxy representations of objects that were saved in the drawing. However many manufacturers, including Autodesk provide object enablers that alsoallow you to edit these custom objects.
Visit the AutoCAD LTObject Enabler Assistant web page to locate Autodesk object enablers or contact the software publisher about object enablers for other applications.
Note: If your computer has internet access verify that Check Web for Live Enablers is selected in the Options dialog box on the System tab to have AutoCAD LT automatically search the Live Enabler website for the appropriate object enabler.

There are more missing applications listed, all which reference AutoCAD Civil 3D. I'm trying to turn render this design in 3D, so when I try to use the Extrude tool it seems I'm unable to select any objects from the design. I'm guessing this is because I'm missing these object enablers so what I'm seeing is actually just a graphic and not really objects? I can't seem to find an add on for AutoCAD 2016 for AutoCAD Civil 3D(this seems to be another program entirely). Am I approaching this in the right way? Should I be using AutoCAD Civil 3D to render this in 3D?
