I have created a MOTIF file, which has both plan and profile information. I created separate name boundaries from my plan and profile and cut the sheets into a different .dgn. The MOTIF file reference in each of my profile sheets turned red and do not show the vertical alignment anymore. When I hover over the attachment in the reference dialogue box it says "Model Not Found - [Attached Long Section]". I checked my motif file and it seems like the name boundaries I created for the profile sheets got deleted. Is there a way I can fix this issue, without having to re-cut the profile sheets how can I make the existing profile drawing models to find the MOTIF profile model?
Thank you for your time.
1. What software and version are you using?
2. What does MOTIF mean? I do not know this acronym so am curious.
Are you able to re-path the reference attachment, to the proper model (not detach/reattach but just select new path)? What happens then? Does that model exist in your file, or has the model itself disappeared?
I am not familiar with MOTIF files, so I cannot help you with issues specific to whatever that may be. However most sheet creation methods use some form of reference attachment, and it may be possible to correct the issue using the reference file tools and options.

The reference for the Profile was coming from the "Profile multi modal view" in ORD. I am not sure how I can repath my reference to this view.
Have you explored the Learning Paths about sheet creation? Because what you are describing doesn't sound like the way OpenRoads "wants" to do sheets. Named boundaries are created in the plan and or profile views, but then the plan segments are referenced into drawing models, and the profile pieces are drawn into drawing models, and then those drawing models are referenced into the sheets.
It sounds as if you are trying to do something that is half the way we used to do things and half the way ORD does things, but they don't really work the same way.
