I created a new field book and imported a text file with survey points. after importing and cleaning the linework and points i noticed that any curves that were drawn have a vertical curve/spline forced into them.
instead of holding the elevations of the points in the feature, the curve dips above and below where it is supposed to be. (see picture below)
it is supposed to be a curved top back of curb feature line. is there a setting in microstation that will stop this from happening?
CURRENTLY USING "cadd Power GEOPAK V8i (SS4) with openroads.
thanks,

I noticed this with InRoads Survey. We could set up filters to use when writing Survey to Graphics and would use them to write some that splined horizontally and vertically, while others were only splined horizontally. In my Tests of Opened Roads Survey, I did not see any such options. I have pointed this out but have not seen or heard anyone from Bentley address this. There are many places in InRoads and GEOPAK where we had control that now is trying to use a standard MicroStation setting and this is not an improvement. Using configuration variables is no where near as convenient (or flexible) as having dialog boxes with settings.
