&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Question:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a set of InRoads Cross Sections and have drawn a line in each section to represent a bedrock layer in the ground.&amp;nbsp; Can these graphics be used to create a DTM for a bedrock surface?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Accomplish:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will need need to&amp;nbsp;add the surface&amp;nbsp;to the cross sections first, then you can extract the surface to create the physical DTM with triangulated features.&amp;nbsp; The features will be a transverse line at the stations represented in the cross section set.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add all the graphic lines into a selection set in MicroStation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;strong&gt;Evaluation &amp;gt; Cross Section &amp;gt; Add Surface to Cross Section&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the correct cross section set.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Type in a new name for the Surface you are adding to this cross section set.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure the mode is set to Graphics and select Apply.&amp;nbsp; It should specify how many elements have been modified once added to the set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Next, extract the graphics to create the physical surface from the cross section surface.&amp;nbsp; Go to &lt;strong&gt;Evaluation &amp;gt; Cross Section &amp;gt; Cross Section to Surface&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the correct Cross Section Set.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the Cross Section Surface from the list on the right.&amp;nbsp; This is the cross section surface that will be used to extract data to create the DTM.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This should populate the Target Surface name to match the Cross Section Surface name.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Specify a seed name for the transverse feature that will be generated in the new DTM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the style and set the point type to Breakline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select Apply and&amp;nbsp; a new DTM will be created. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You now have a DTM generated from the manually drawn graphics in the cross sections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Question:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An engineer has come into a set of InRoads Cross Sections and drawn a line in each section to represent a bedrock layer in the ground.&amp;nbsp; Can you extract these graphics to create a DTM for a bedrock surface?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Accomplish:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We need to&amp;nbsp;add&amp;nbsp;a surface&amp;nbsp;to the cross sections first, then we can extract the surface to create the physical DTM with triangulated features.&amp;nbsp; The features will be a transverse line at the stations represented in the cross section set.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Add all the graphic line into a selection set in MicroStation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Go to Evaluation &amp;gt; Cross Section &amp;gt; Add Surface to Cross Section&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Select the correct cross section set.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Type in a new name for the Surface you are adding to this cross section set.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Make sure the mode is set to Graphics and select Apply.&amp;nbsp; It should specify hoe many elements have been modified once added tot he set.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Next we need to&amp;nbsp;extract the graphics to create the physical surface from the cross section surface.&amp;nbsp; Go to Evaluation &amp;gt; Cross Section &amp;gt; Cross Section to Surface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Select the correct Cross Section Set.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Select the Surface from the list on the right (Cross Section Surfaces)for which you will extract to generate the DTM.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;It should populate the Target Surface name to match the Cross Section Surface name.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Specify a seed name for the transverse feature it will generate in the new DTM, select the style and set the point type to Breakline.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Select Apply and it should create a new DTM and place the breakline features in the surface.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You now have a DTM generated from the manually drawn graphics in the cross sections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
