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?
Hi,
Your Terrain symbology settings are located in your Element Templates.
The video below can explain contour setting adjustments (this is also for Terrains in Microstation, not just OpenRoads - note the video is for v8i but works the same in CONNECT):
Video: Change Symbology of Contours and Contour Labels - OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities
Unfortunately, this is not very well documented...

Big Problem......From your video, I cannot see the similar setting like this:
The concept of base elevation used in Civil 3D is not something found elsewhere. Terrain contour annotation will span the entire range of the Contours from the minimum to maximum.
That Base elevation property is just something that limits how low the annotated contour elevations will go which isn't very useful in my opinion.
In your mind setting of base elevation property is useless, but in real world we need the targeted contour lines to arrange soil nail horizontally and vertically with specified interval...... This means Bentley provides no rapid solution with Terrain Model, and request us to use the old school method:

So.....may I ask if you know can .NET API be able to set it? If it can and then I move to Programming Forum.
That is true. Terrain models are of limited use in Microstation. Lot of issues which were no issue in v8i. Concept is good but implemented blindly.
