Perhaps my question is silly, but I cannot find the workaround to config the beginning elevation of contour. It lets you to set Major and Minor Interval only.
Anyone knows the solution?
I'm thinking you might be referring to old Terrain modelling tools that were available possibly in Triforma or ABD. The following discussions relating to this show you might be thinking of an Elevate Terrain tool that was previously available. I would not think this type of operation could be performed in MicroStation CONNECT Edition but may be something that could be achieved in OpenRoads or OpenBuilding.
Has the Terrain modelling feature been removed from recent updates?
Terrain model tool in XM version, where is it in AECOsim version?

I am not going to edit the Terrain model, and I just want to change the display of contour lines.
e.g.: I would like to see the contour lines (0.5m interval) in 8.3m, 8.8m, 9.3m, 9.8m, along the soil nail's designed elevation.
However, the Terrain model can only show you 8.0m, 8.5m. 9.0m, 9.5m, 10.0m.

But you cannot "snap" and "construct array along path" with the shape (filled) element. Each shape element has their own unique name using item types. There are thousand of them, and I believe display style can help nothing for soil nail arrangement.
MaryB said:contours might need to be shown on a slope, but not the entire slope, and possibly only for a certain portion of the slope.
You are correct. By reason for the maintenance's responsibility, a certain portion of the slope is possible. Survey team will provide design team an entire terrain model and a clipped terrain model (also called slope feature / registered slope) for the works. You may have the concept with "registered slope":

My bad. What I meant is that from user perspective the old bugs are still there. LandXML export would be good but if it is only exporting mesh then again it is another tech preview.

And are there any examples of using display rules on Terrain?
Probably should have said Thematic display

Anthony,
You could try the following as a workaround.
This will give you a set of contour linestrings to use for your Soil Nail drawing that you can Snap to and use Construct Array Along Path tool to place the soil nails.

Ron Jones said:Use the Drop Element tool with Application Elements checked to drop the terrain element. This will drop the contours to linestrings.
I am doing that to get the linestrings.
Ron Jones said:Copy it vertically down by the desired base elevation interval distance.(In your example it was 0.700m)
Stupid, but it works
Note: If you want to use the Terrain Model to show the contour lines directly with prefered base elevation, there are still no solution.
