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.

Is this what you're looking for? Used the latest MicroStation SS3 (.397) and just a simple export 2d with no options turned on.
Here is the file. I didn't strip anything out since it isn't a huge file.
Can you copy the file and strip most elements out? Just leave a few of the known good elements that export fine and also leave some of the known elements that don't export and post that .dgn file to the thread. I think a few of use would like to take a look at it to see what elements are not working and why.
Microstation CONNECT - 10.17.2.61

mwlong,
The 3D file does not have any references attached. Everything is located in that one 3D file. It also only has one model.
Development...
I had a colleague try to do the simple MS Export>2D as well, and he ran into the same thing. He then tried it using MS v8.5 and worked without issue. I am going to research a bit to see if there is something to the older version working and not V8i.
