I am trying to import multiple subsurface utilities into one file so that I can run the utilities conflict detection. However when I try exporting the separate files and importing them they do not display. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Would you mind listing the details of your workflow?

We were given existing utilities files from other consultants and each utility is in a separate file. Each file contains 3d linework which we want to combine all in one file so that we can check for conflicts. I selected all of the linework from the existing file and went to subsurface utility tab then to project -> export -> Geopak. Once I exported the file I would try to import it into a new file where I wanted to combined all the files by doing the same process. Subsurface utility -> project -> import -> Geokpak. A new project would get created but after everything is loaded nothing would appear. I also believe the existing files were possibly done in an older workspace. Could that possibly be an issue?
Try using SUDA tool "extract utility from graphics" on the linework, then reference the dgn's and run clash detection as needed.
When I reference in the drawings with the utilities and use the extract utility from graphics command the line does not appear after I follow the steps. I first select the lines I want to extract and then use the command and nothing happens. i also tried selecting the command first and select the lines when prompted to select the element. When I hover over the line it says "Can not extract a utility element."
What is the specific product and version number (08.11.09.878) you're using?
