Cross Section Model Editing

Using ORD2021R1 I'm trying to manipulate a cross section model for use in an exhibit.  I understand that the depicted cross section comes from a slice of the 3D model using named boundaries.  This is what I'm working from.

I can't merge the file into master, and when I select the elements and copy them it results in this:

It looks like it's taking every named boundary from the referenced 3D model and pancaking them into a 2D view.  My goal is to simply have a non-dynamic drawing that I can manipulate for the purposes of an exhibit (showing what it would look like with sidewalk, impact on existing driveways, etc.).  Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

    Much has been said and much probably needs to be said about this issue. If one makes dynamic edits and then runs sheets everything should be fine, but often is not. There are some solutions to cross sections not showing up properly,  and such is generally achieved with Microstation tools. Imagine the following: A toe of slope is appearing ridiculously low compared to the surface of the existing ground line. The simple microstation solution is to clip mask and then be done with it all. What we have then is not "dead" line work, but rather a sheet which can be printed and represented correctly (but such becomes an apparent chase of masks when things have changed). The correct method would be to hit an event point at this station and then rerun the sections. At times, such is not possible to make such a (client) commitment. We have to think about models being the end all of end alls... we have all known that for a while.
