How to import HecRas schematic basin back into MicroStation 2004

How to import HecRas schematic basin back into MicroStation 2004

How to import HecRas schematic basin back into MicroStation 2004

(OP)
I used MicroStation 2004 to generate cross section data into HecRas.  In HecRas I modified some of the cross section stations.  Now I would like to export the schematic from HecRas and import it into MicroStation 2004.  I've searched MicroStation help and HecRas help and also Googled it but cannot find a way of doing it.  HecRas help insinuates it can be done but doesn't give much information on how to do it.

RHOeng - I have not been able to find a way to import anything from RAS into MS through IN-ROADS.  The way I have incorporated the water surface back into MS is by creating an vertical profile using the Stations of the XSECs and water surface profile generated from RAS; this is done manually.  

Then I get into 3d file and write the profile.

Using the 3d comands I generate a sloped surface (zero Slope) and project the written profile to intercept the ground surface.

This is the only way I have been able to do this.  Maybe someone else can shed some light on to this issue.

Civil 3D 2011 has a direct import utility... MicroStation 2004 has nada, but then it is seven year old software. You could do gbam's method with Geopak too.
