How could you give it a 3D component then??

Okay...so here is my dilema...I am a grad lighting design student learning vectorworks pretty much on my own...I have the spotlight training cd but it starts with a 3-D theatre. I've been trying to convert the AutoCAD dwg file I got from the scenic designer into a 3-D version so I can pick up where the training CD begins. The problem is that I can't get the theatre to create the right way...I've tried extruding the lines but then i can't get textures to map on anything I was working on. On top of that, I can't get the lighting positions I've created (ie our balcony rail which is an arc since the theatre is a thrust) to have a height so I can use them. And, when I put lights on them, (ie Altman 6x12), the instrument disappeares and I don't know why....I've probably spent 20 hours trying to just figure this out but to no avail...Can anyone help me??? Thank you
