Can I create cross sections or a profile in Microstation V8i using only a TIN file?

Question

I don't have a GPK or anything. I just need a few 2D ground lines cut from a surface.

when you open cogo and type a gpk number, it will create a new one if it doesn't exist. here is how you store a chain using store graphics.

 here are the wikis on openroads in ss4

Are you using OpenRoads? you can import the tin and create a terrain model, then create an alignment using the geometry tools and cut your xs.

ok. you can use the openroads tools, or create an alignment in cogo using geopak and run existing ground xs.
