&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;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Question:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am imported a CSV File: Station, Offset, Elevation, and Description with the Description as a feature code. When I import, I only have 1 feature, I need breaklines through all like descriptions. How can this be accomplished?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Answer:&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to import data and created breaklines through all like descriptions, you have options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Use your descriptions as Codes and import your CSV data as survey data. You would have to edit your code with either &amp;ldquo;ST&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;1&amp;rdquo; so that InRoads will know where to start the breakline. Ensure that you have selected Draw Line to Previous Same Code for each code to be drawn as a breakline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. The second option is to set your Point Type to Breaklines within the Text Import Wizard (Step 4 of 4) and use your descriptions as your Styles. Before you do that, you&amp;rsquo;d need to set your style to display Line Segments within the Style Managers. This can be a bit risky because you can/may have one line segment drawn to all points with the same style.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By far, the absolute best method is to have the data coded during collection, Import as survey and you can export for survey data to a surface or geometry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
