Cross Section -Dimension widths displaying length along slope, not horizontal

I'm having an issue where the length of the dimension between points of a template are being shown as the length along the slope instead of the horizontal distance. Is this by design? Is there a a way to display the dimensions as they are shown by the Dynamic Cross Section - Place Horizontal Temporary dimension tool? I'm using a linear annotation in the annotation group that targets the segment of the template. Also is there a way to set all the dimensions at the same elevation for all segments? 

The example shown in a previous question (https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/192142/annotating-cross-sections-in-ord) shows as a result of what i'm 

looking to accomplish in terms of accuracy and style, but unfortunately i wasn't able to recreate.  Any help would be appreciated!
