    Saving Level names in Ver. 7

    Level names must be saved in a .lvl file. You can do this under Level Names>File>Save. The .lvl file is also a text file that can be edited in Notepad. Once you have saved the .lvl file use "Save Settings" to save the attached .lvl file to your design file. Hope this helps.

    Thanks to all of the responses. What I am proposing is about 250' of construction with reverse 100' vertical curves and a 4.25% grade between the PI's. I like the idea about making a template and "driving" it through the intersection. I have since found that my office has addressed...

    Maximum grade to prevent drag boat trailers

    I am raising the grade of a rural collector road to improve sight distance at a T intersection with a local road.

    WRITE LOCK PROBLEMS!

    Just a thought - you might want to make sure that all service packs are installed for InRoads 8.2. We had a similar problem placing cells with InRoads 8.1 that was resolved when we upgraded to InRoads 8.2 and with service pack 6.

    troubles: can't open microstation file!!!!!!!!

    An easier way to do what mjflorio suggested is to create a new blank 3D file and MERGE in the data from the corrupted file. This command is found on the Microstation Manager toolbox under "File". This ensures that all data is merged to the correct location in the file.

    Placing a fence in a 3D seed file

    In Microstation Versions J and later there is no feature to maintain a fence in a 3D file when you pan around. Microstation V8 has added the "fence persistance" as they call it to 3D files.
