Hello everyone. I have been working on my first project in OpenRoads Designer. Despite a few bugs, I have been making good progress. However, I have encountered a new problem for which I have been unable to find a solution. Beginning a few days ago, I have had the following issues appear:
1. I have been unable to get my level settings to save when closing files. I have "save settings" turned on, and I manually save the settings out of habit. Despite this, whenever I reopen a file, the levels on/off are consistently reset to a set of levels I do not want.
2. I have been unable to get my referenced in contour lines to display in some of my files, despite appearing to be turned on in the Level Display toolbox.
The only unusual thing which occurred during that time is that another person at my company opened and edited some of these files in an older program. I believed they used OpenRoads (not OpenRoads Designer). However, this issue appears to extend to files which they did not open or edit, so I am doubtful this is the cause. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
It sounds like you may have "Settings From Design Model" set in your Attachment Properties set. Change to none, or Volume only. That should fix your issue.
I don't know whether the original problem is the same one that I was having or not, but it sounds very similar. We have sheet models created by the process for creating plan or profiles. There were a couple of things that we had to do to get the response on the sheet models we expected. For example, if we change the display levels or view attributes in the sheet, it would not keep the changes. This did not have to do with the reference display overrides settings (Allow, Always, Never). In fact, we were not using display overrides. It has everything to do with the Synchronize View setting.
You will notice that there is not option available in the sheet model to change the reference file (Drawing model that is automatically attached). However, in the drawing model, the option is available on the Design model that is attached to it. The Synchronize View setting should be set to Settings From Design Model. When changes are made in the design model that is attached to the drawing model, those changes are carried forth into the drawing model and then into the sheet model.
In summary:
1) In Drawing model, set Synchronize View to Settings From Design Model
2) In Design model, make desired changes
3) Reopen the Drawing model to reinitiate the changes (this seems to be a software design flaw - to require this step)
4) Reopen the Sheet model in order inherit the changes made to the Design model through the Drawing model.

thanks for posting this solution, in my situation i have a project and in the sheets I'm trying to display the contours the same as i have them set in the container file but the sheets do not reflect that. If i check in the drawing model under the REF "Synchronize View" it is set to (No View) and the "Setting from Desing Model" is grey, if i hover over that button, it shows "The synchronized saved view for this reference could not be found". ANy idea on casue and how to fix?
Does anyone understand what happens when you have "Synchronize View to Settings From Design Model" and Live Nesting on and set to "never" with a depth of 99 in the Sheet and Drawing Models? Does MicroStation connect just ignore the live nesting settings and only display what is in the Design Model if Synchronize View to Settings From Design Model is set? In this case, is it just using live nesting to bring references forward? I have always been confused about this.
I have had this issue where the synchronized view has greyed out. To get it to repopulate, go to your references, change reference orientation to coincident world then change it back to the saved view. Close and reopen reference settings and it should no longer be greyed out. Hope that works for you.
On a similar note, anyone know the key in for setting the synchronized view to settings from design model. I want to create a batch process for this

Also if you are using version 10.10. I was told by someone at Bentley that the 99 depth was a defect. You shouldn’t have depth 99. It’ll may cause a loop and corruption eventually.
