Reading Civil 3D objects and attribution

I'm trying to read the attached Civil 3D file, extract non standard attributes and certain geometric details such as edge strings. I've attached a screenshot of the file when viewed in Civil 3D, and displayed the 'Property Sets' or attributes I want to get out. I've also attached a shot of what FME makes of the file.

 

Anyone know how I set FME to read the attributes in the dwg and expose them so they can be worked with in Workbench?

If I understand correctly these PropertySets are attached to Corridors.

As far as I know, reading Corridors is not (yet) supported in FME.

Thanks for the reply. I have tracked down the attributes in the drawing file in a layer called

Z-Zz_35_10_40-M_C3D_CORRIDORS

Clipboard01Trouble is it is broken up into text, lines that represent a bounding box, and areas of a bounding box. Its the same effect as when you read a Civil 3D file as an AutoCAD file.

 

I assume thats because FME doesn't yet support the type of object being held in that layer
