is there a way using the data interoperability extension to move CAD / Civil 3D object data to a file geodatbase field. In FME Workbench the Map 3D Object Data reader allows the exposure of the attached object data to be mapped to a field in a file geodatabase but I don't see this option in the Data Interoperability extension.

Thanks Adrian and hello Map Vis. Data Interoperability extension does not include Civil 3D reading capability but as you note FME does. You can install the cross-grade product 'FME ArcGIS Data Interoperability Edition' which will add the few formats Data Interop does not share with core FME. Here is a licensing article:
