Exporting to 2007 while viewing the objects in 3d worked! That's so strange that viewing it in plan doesn't allow it to export the 3d properties.....thanks!

Actually, it seems to be a standard practice with BIM modelling applications (like Archicad too, for instance)that the active view determines the nature of the export. IMO it's quite logical. Importing and exporting are just generally not the best documented topics in software manuals.
