Import dxf file that looks 3d but isn't

I have a drawing of some 6x6 posts. I want put them on these bases.

They have drawings of them near then bottom of that page. I want ABU66Z Perspective View so downloaded the dxf. When I import it into my Fusion drawing, it is not 3d. 

See the attached file. How do I do this?

Looking at the download page from your framing component, you will see that a 3D model is only offered in a SAT format (for Fusion),  A DXF is only 2D.

Thanks for your reply. The SAT file was actually what I tried first, but when I open it in fusions I see this:

It opens just fine for me.  I have attached it as a native Fusion f3D file.

Open the *.sat file in Notepad.

Does the header indicate ACIS v7 or earlier?
