This behaves differently than XM. The V8i modeler creates multiple graphics groups instead of a single one. Is there any workaround to get the surface featuresen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/231736?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:36:43 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:1794cba4-4cb7-4551-9f7e-1e2ef692b49aKate Severson<p>We do use the update 3D plan/surface display. &nbsp;One of our users wants to view, test and delete features from the surface as easily as she did in InRoads XM. &nbsp;In V8i, feature ignore the graphics group lock, regardless of how they are displayed.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/231734?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:38:46 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d5f0b84e-070c-410e-a131-276a3059a7a0caddcop<p>Have you used the Update 3D/Plan tool? It&#39;s under the View Surface menu?</p> <p>I find I don&#39;t need to rely on Graphic Groups as much with it. Although it is equally important to remember that if you are emptying a surface, that you must use the tool to erase the old graphics otherwise they become orphaned and no longer respond to the tool.</p> <p>I also seldom display my features from Roadway Designer as it displays all features, not just the top surface ones. Instead I use either the aforementioned tool of the View Features tool.</p> <p>HTH</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
