How Do I Send 3D Reference Files To Back?

Mstn v8i SS4

We design water systems. The dgn is 3D. We attach the sewer design to our dgn's as references. The sewer dgn's (done by others, so we cannot modify) are also 3D. The sewer always seems to plot on top of our work. How can I send a read-only 3D reference file to the back?

thanks

  • when you attach the 3d reference there is an option to attach it at a set or artificial elevation, personally I dont  like this as it will give false information later to those who dont know this was done...

    Is your drawing  sheet or model 2d and then your refs 3d right?

  • create a sub model and use 2d seed for this then ref merge the default 3d original data, rename this sub model 2D version to remove confusion, then ref attach only the 2d version... and rename the original default model 3D original version
