I'm into uncharted territory for our firm. We have been using Revit for a couple of years now, but have always had a Revit Arch model to link in. Now we are working with a firm that uses Microstation. They sent us files saved down to V7, and I have linked them in just fine. (We got several files that pieced together to form the building.) The issue is the visibility in certain views. For example - I can't seem to get section cuts of the building (as in the DGN files.) It just wants to show the elevation, no matter where it is cut. I realize that it's not going to work as good as a native model, but it seems to me Revit should realize where in the "DGN" it is, and show the appropriate area. Is this an issue with it being pieced together and not being a "whole" model? Or is it just the way it is with DGN's. Should I import them into it's own file, then link that Revit file in? Any help, or links to a good site, or tips & tricks for using Microstation in Revit would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

mdsonline, I been working with Microstation for about 6 years. Revit, well, I am starting my first project as we speak. Microstation is a 2D platform and WILL NOT have elevation as compared to Revit. So,as for cut sections, you won't have any. It sounds like that you may need to work this project in Microstation for best results if this file was drawn in Microstation.
