&lt;p&gt;Civil Labeler is delivered with a Labeler*.dgnlib.&amp;nbsp; Why, oh, why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I see the advantage of a number of those all in one file, but&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I feel only horror, confusion and maybe a hint of betrayal in that there seems to be a, perhaps not arbitrary and certainly not pernicious but, deliberate muddying of the clarity &amp;quot;separate files for separate data object types.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what&amp;#39;s the difference between the Text Favorites in the formerly complete Text Favorites.dgnlib and the new Labeler*.dgniib?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My understanding is that the calcs are based on Unified Length, which is either Scaled Length or User Defined Length ((the field says it&amp;#39;s the &amp;quot;active length depending on local and global settings&amp;quot;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do we get the Unified Length to use Construction Length?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;How do we&amp;nbsp;get the calcs to use the Construction Slope (as opposed to the Calculated Slope)?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are there any new settings beyond&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Has User Defined Length&amp;quot;, say, &amp;quot;Unified Length is Construction Length&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; Maybe a Unified Slope for the same reason as Unified Length?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Scaled Length vs Unified Length, 3D length-Drainage</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/225911/scaled-length-vs-unified-length-3d-length-drainage</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Feb 2022 15:16:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8449f6da-d470-499c-919c-9447b72e09f0</guid><dc:creator>Emily Gordon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="65" src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5922/pastedimage1645024539436v1.png" width="461" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re in luck, that&amp;#39;s an easy one:&amp;nbsp; Insert Node is designed specifically for that.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&amp;quot;Cool.&amp;nbsp; Look at that!&amp;nbsp; Hey, wait.&amp;nbsp; The alignment along which it cuts the profile didn&amp;#39;t move.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Oh, that&amp;#39;s weird. Okay, just use the MicroStation Insert Vertex tool to insert a PI at the new Node.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&amp;quot;Cool, thanks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;quot;You&amp;#39;ll have to delete and re-create.&amp;nbsp; And redo your profile runs and your profiles.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How do I make Features out of them?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t want to create Terrain out of them (but I&amp;#39;m willing to consider it if it&amp;#39;s a short detour).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I must be missing something, cuz my process is really convoluted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create Civil Rule Feature wants linears (and doesn&amp;#39;t seem to like selection sets)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can do it with this process:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use Field Book &amp;gt; Import from Graphics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Generate a Geometry Report of the points &amp;amp; Export it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use Import Horizontal Geometry Points.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(then, if I want to drape the points to a terrain, I can use Modify Points.&amp;nbsp; That works.).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I want to make a Utility Node out of the graphic points, you&amp;#39;d think Extract Utilities from Graphics would do the trick.&amp;nbsp; I haven&amp;#39;t had any luck.&amp;nbsp; Selection doesn&amp;#39;t want to work.&amp;nbsp; Filters want to look for either a conduit for elevation or search for bottom points (which I don&amp;#39;t need because my structures have defined heights).&amp;nbsp; Documentation for Extracting Nodes is &amp;quot;sparse&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; Frowny face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought about installing InRoads.&amp;nbsp; Smirky face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope I just missing something easy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ECRES&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bentley delivers, and others copy, utility levels bifurcated into a nominal (2D) and a 3D with a &amp;quot;_3D&amp;quot; suffix.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This offends my instinct towards data normalization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I reflexively think &amp;quot;but the 2D graphics are in the 2D Model, and the 3D graphics are in the 3D Model!&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; They stay separate and segregatable (like the McDLT) without having to have special containers (like the McDLT).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, is it simply a matter of being able to Level Filter (say, for Conflict Management (I&amp;#39;d go a different (more complicated) route, but Easy is more handoffable))?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What other benefits are there to this duplication?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
