Looking for a workflow that will allow me to do the following:
1) Take 3D line work that was generated in MicroStation and create an InRoads SS4 civil feature from it. (Ex: Utility company provides 3D line work, and want to "import" it into the dgn as a 6" gas line civil feature)
2) Generate a set of cross sections that displays the newly imported 6" gas line.
Seems simple enough and something that really should be basic to do since it occurs frequently within a typical project workflow, right?
Have you tried to add the line as a feature to your terrain model? It should show up in your cross-section then

This works differently in Ss4 than in Ss2. In Ss4, cross sections get cut from the 3D models. So plain 3D elements will show up but are not intelligent - unable to be annotated automatically. You need to featurize it in some way that the Open Roads portion of Ss4 recognizes.

Hey Chuck - Yeah, that's the problem in a nutshell, trying to featurize a MicroStation 3D element into a civil feature.
