If you have a 3D wireframe model only, your options are either "cover" the edges with faces or solids (e.g. using osnaps) or start from scratch. The 3D modeling functions are quite powerful in the latest versions of AutoCAD.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with stereo images or LiDAR terrain models, but if I had to guess, I would say no. Autocad is a general purpose drafting program. It does a little bit of everything, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the more specialized programs have.

Well, my suggestion is to start over and create the building from scratch in Autocad using proper 3D modeling tools. I think it would be faster and easier than trying to fool around with this dxf file.

I created the buildings in an old version of Socet Set. Now i want to deal with the dxf file in AutoCAD 2009.

So you created the building using lines? Why didn't you use Autocad's solid modeling tools?
