I wonder what currently is the most productive way to set element's elevation in MS CE now when we don't have Civtools to work with?
Hi Yrjo Ala-heikkila,
At the moment you can use Bentley Civil products to do that.
We have filed Enhancement 918161 for MicroStation: Set element's elevation

It is kind of strange to have a '3D Cad software' without such a preliminary 3D tool. BTW, I have Bentley OpenRoads Designer on my computer too and it doesn't have a handy tool to set element's elevation either... That makes the program practically useless for terrain modeling.
I really can't figure why Bentley hasn't migrated Civtools to Connect Edition.
I create a cell with a text field setup to read the Z axis. When I place it, I get the true Z height

That's a good idea. I thought I could do the same with 2d for an elevation and I can set a field to read the Y value but I don't seem to be able to make it use an ACS which means levels would have to be set from the global origin for it to work.
