Just wanted to check in to see if anyone on the Bentley team was able to resolve this. Thanks and have a great weekend

Thanks Mark, I should've been more specific from the get-go. Unfortunately, we're stuck using V8i SS10 because the client has yet to upgrade to OpenRoads Designer, so if there's any way to resolve the issue in this version, it'd be much appreciated. If not, I look forward to that functionality in the future once we finally make the switch. Thanks again

OK - just thought I should ask. No, I have not looked at the dgn, and yes, they are all the OpenRoads technology tools. I note that JPLN did not get the error in the latest OpenRoads Designer version.

By "for years", I'm referring to the past 3-4 years. I admittedly and regrettably should've sought answers sooner, but that's beside the point. Were you able to look at the dgn I provided? All elements should've been created using the following tools which I believe fall under the OpenRoads umbrella, not the native InRoads one. Thanks

If you have experienced this for years, and the issue "results in a considerable amount of wasted effort" - have you logged any service requests for this InRoads functionality? I am presuming it is native InRoads functionality you are using, and not the OpenRoads tech tools.

Yes, I frequently use Replace Reference for Fillet and Offset elements and rarely encounter problems. I attached the file and included callouts to provide a clearer picture of the issue. All elements are in a 2D model and I figure it's worth mentioning that I've experienced this exact same problem for years on different projects so I don't believe it's specific to this file (it's either something I'm doing wrong or a software glitch). Thank you both for your help

Are you working in a 3D file? I ask as the message mentions 'design plane'.

I don't get error in 2020 R3 but it could be data specific. Anyway, I am not sure Replace Reference has been imagined for this kind of workflow. Much more for offset. However it is there and enabled so should work.
