For those of you getting started, I wanted to take a moment to point out we have delivered a sample workspace to help you get started. Select the user entitled "Examples". Then for the Project select Bentley-Civil-Imperial or Bentley-Civil-Metric. Finally, select the Interface Bentley-Civil.
I will be hosting a presentation on this workspace at the Bentley LEARNing Conference this May for those interested. Having a robust workspace for this new major release is vital to successful deployment.
Thanks,

Hi chuck - would you happen to have a newer release or updated ftp link?
A revised Examples Workspace version for InRoads, GEOPAK and MX is posted here:
ftp.geopak.com/.../SS3Standards_11_27_2013.zip
What's New:
1. In the subfolder entitled "dgnlib" a new MVBA has been added for users who wish to develop their own Workspaces. This MicroStation Visual Basic Application exports all levels in the currently opened DGNLib file to a XML file that can then be imported to create Element Templates in the Element Templates application within MicroStation. The XML file format will be such that the Element Template name will match the level name and the level for the Element Template will of course be set to that corresponding level name. The color, style and weight of the Element Template will all be set to "ByLevel". This application is useful for bulk creation of Element Templates for those of you looking to the future technology of Element Templates controlling your drawing environment. In the case of the client requesting this, they had a unique level for every payitem. They wanted those levels to be used through Element Templates but did not want to have to create thousands of Element Templates manually.
I have added some enhancements to the Examples Workspace (Imperial and Metric) for the Bentley Civil products (InRoads, GEOPAK, and MX) if you wish to manually update your install.

1. Added a Surface Feature for existing rock
2. Added a Linear Feature for existing rock breaklines (think bench cuts)
3. Added a Linear Feature called Matchline
4. Modified the rural undivided template to recognize the new feature "Matchline". If this feature is added as a corridor reference, the shoulder and end conditions will not draw. This is a handy way of not having to deal with end condition exceptions or adding clipping references to Corridors.
5. Many other minor enhancements.
Thanks Chuck
I tried that but apparently the zipped file is too large. Need to check into this...
These should be put in the Files area and updated there as needed.
