Create a new 3D model you can use for point cloud data.  Attach your 2D model as a reference.  That way, you don't have to change anything.  You can keep your original 2D model and the 3D model in the same DGN file.

Or if I recall correctly you can Create a 3D model, attach point cloud, set clip volume or display depth if you want, and then reference that to your 2D model.

Hello,

I would agree with Jon and would create a new 3D model and attach the POD file.

Could you specify the version of MicroStation (xx.xx.xx.xx) you are currently using?

The file formats that can be attached for conversion to POD format in MicroStation, are as follows:

Is there a way I can convert over to a 3D file model?

DGN file is a container.  It contains on or more DGN models.  A model can be 2D or 3D.  Once a model is created, you can't convert it to a different dimensionality.  A DGN file can contain both 2D and 3D models.
