Profile from 3D Line

I want to be able to create a a 2D Profile with station/elevation from a simple 3D line. I have been trying to follow along on all sorts of work flows I have been finding, but with no luck. Most involve a surface and I am not dealing with any surfaces. I have been able to open the profile model and view the profile I am describing, but not able to go any further than viewing it.

Thank you for any help. I am newer to the Microstation workflows. I have always worked with AutoCAD based programs for survey and design.

Give this a try:

In Tasks > Civil Tools > 3D Tools: find a tool called Plan By 3D Element

Pick the 3D line.

The result is a new 2D element with profile that matches the 3D.

If you need this profile in GPK file

Makes sure the new 2D element has a feature defintion assigned

Make sure that both the 2D element and profile have a name of less than 15 characters with no spaces or special characters

Then use the Export to Native command found in Tasks > Civil Tools > General Geometry

Robert,

I was finally able to get this workflow that I wanted figured out. I can simply select my 3D line and go to DTM-View Profiles Tool. In this tool I can create and place my graphed profile on the screen.

Thank you again for your help.
