Please forgive my lack of knowledge of InRoads, but we only have to deal with it here and there. We received a survey that was done with InRoads, and one of the files we received is the Topo file, which is a 3D DGN with the points and line strings displayed. I would like to be able to convert this to a 2D file to use in our plans. When I try to do the simple "Export>2d...", I lose almost all the elements that originally had an elevation (something other than 0). I have also tried to copy the elements into a 2D file from the referenced 3D file, but they again disappear.
If needed, I may be able to just get by using the 3D file, but it doesn't let me fully edit the elements in the 3D file. I can change the symbology, but I can't rotate elements or anything like that.
Is there something that I am missing that could give me functionality that I need?
Thanks for the help.

I am wondering if there are some sort of attributes attached to the 3D elements when they are displayed by InRoads (Write Survey Data to Graphics) which causes issues when changed to a 2D file.
I see that I can Write the Survey Data to Graphics again and Planarize everything to 0, but I would much rather just use plain MS tools to do this.
I am able to work with the 3D file, it just isn't as efficient for me or others.
