I am importing a 5M DEM.TIF surface file from GIS. They have already converted it from Meter to Foot, and fixed the Geo Coordinates. The surface should be the low 5000' Elevation, but I am getting it in the 16000'. I am creating Terrain from surface selecting the tif.
That's suspiciously close to a meters to feet conversion. You should review your working units and workflow to verify you're not converting the information a second time. You might also ask your GIS folks to do the same.
Indeed. More than likely a working units issue as Ray has stated.

This was my thoughts to begin with as well and had them check their stuff. They have checked their data and say it is in feet. I create terrain from the data it and change my Microstation Working Units to Meter it is giving me the elevations I expected. Guess i will have them check again. Is Openroads assuming it is in meter and converting it to feet? Where would that option be?
How are the units of your seed file defined?

This is ours (Oregon):
It is the advanced units settings where most folks get into issues. Interesting that the linear units are in Imperial, while the advanced units are in Metric for Oregon. Here are ours in Oklahoma for comparison:
One can easily see where I had to rescale/ change the working units for EVERYTHING from Bentley (ORD) to get it to work with the settings here.
