Hi Sean, as already mentioned in this thread you can use Power Selector to pre-select the level and the element type, such as "line string" if you do not want to include perimeters of closed polygons for example, then use the "Measure Length" tool.

You need to pre-select level and element type, if this is needed, as the measure length tool will only let you select one single element at the time.

If you are using the CONNECT Edition of MicroStation you can create a report that will look for Linear elements on a specific level. The drawback is it wont total the individual segments however you can export the report to Excel and get a sum quickly through there.

Regarding setting up the report see the image below as a reference:

Depending on the time of linear elements you need only need to search for line strings. The filtered by will limit the scope of the report to the level defined.

For Columns i set up a column to report the length of each individual element and a second column just to verify that it is on the desired level.

If you have different types of linear elements on a level you will find that the length needed for reporting may not have the same property name. For b-spline curves you need to pull the "Length" property and for a linestring you need to pull the "Total Length" property. To do this please refernce the image below:

For more information regarding the reports function please see:

You can use the Element Selection tool to select the level of interest. then click the "Measure Length" tool. This should give the the total length of everything on that level.
