Export to dwg with z coordination

How do I export to dwg to include the z coordinate? I have set my export setting to shared coordinates but it is only exporting the x and y coordinates and setting z to 0.

Did you export a 3d view?

No, I exported a floor plan. The reason I need the z coordinate in addition to the x and y is because I am being a point cloud into AutoCAD. It will line up in the x and y direction but the floor plan comes in at 0 rather than the correct elevation set from the model.

Floor plans are always exported at z=0, just like when you draw a floor plan in AutoCAD you draw it at 0. You need actual elevation you need to export a 3d view.
