    Default Model Feature Lines Disappeared

    I have been working on a model for a grading plan for a couple of days and had created ~35 feature lines as break lines in the model.

    I was editing the model to optimize and balance the grading.

    Something happened and now nearly all of my model feature lines are gone. Only 4-5 are left and they are still all on C-TOPO-Feat layer. So it could not have been an accidental deletion, otherwise they would all be gone.

    I ran recover, it fixed 32 errors but the feature lines are still gone.

    Any suggestions to what happened?

    Any suggestions how to fix/recover the lines? .bak won't work because I had saved the file recently without knowing there was a problem.....

    What version of C3D?

    This was a common problem in C3D 2008-2009. I might have also seen people complaining about it in C3D 2010, but I can't remember for sure. I don't think I've seen anyone complain about this issue in C3D 2011-2012 yet, so hopefully it's been fixed.

    I don't recall ever seeing a fix for this problem. A lot of people got in the habit of exploding gradings as soon as they were set, to avoid this problem. Exploding the grading destroys the dynamic nature of the model, but it seemed to keep things from disappearing.

    We are running Civil 3D 2011 Version 2. Sounds like the problem may still be around.

    I can't think of anything I did to make them go away. Especially to leave five feature lines behind on the same level.

    Thank you for your response.
