&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#39;t merge the file into master, and when I select the elements and copy them it results in this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It looks like it&amp;#39;s taking every named boundary from the referenced 3D model and pancaking them into a 2D view.&amp;nbsp; My goal is to simply have a non-dynamic drawing that I can manipulate for the purposes of an exhibit (showing what it would look like with sidewalk, impact on existing driveways, etc.).&amp;nbsp; Any ideas on how to accomplish this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Pipe Profile Annotation Upside Down</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/227456/pipe-profile-annotation-upside-down</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2022 14:51:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d68a5591-2a81-4cfd-bb5d-d743058aaa5b</guid><dc:creator>Dave W.</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m trying to annotate my drainage profile, and some of the pipe annotations are appearing upside down.&lt;/p&gt;
