Can someone please link me to the Wiki instructions on building a TIN file from LAS files using V8i SS4 with Geopak? I have been looking everywhere.

Question

I don't normally use Microstation for 3D. Please help. I need step by step instructions for dummies. Haha. Thanks.

What you showed earlier looks like the plain MicroStation Terrain tool. Make sure that Geopak is activated. I don't think the civil tools will show up if it isn't. 
 If your Task dialog isn't already open, you can open it by going to Workspace -> Preferences -> Task Navigation and click on "Show Main Task Tools". 
 When that opens, you *should* see a list of task tabs. Look for "Civil Tools". These are the SS4/OpenRoads-type tools that go along with the regular Geopak tools in SS4/SS10. That should show you another list of task tabs, including things like "Analysis & Reporting", "Horizontal Geometry" and (what we really want to see) "Terrain Model". Click that tab, and you will see a couple of dozen terrain-type icons. 
 The first tool is "Create From File" and one of the file type options is going to be LAS files.
