I am quite ignrant with dgn but I hear it does not work with a concept similar to model/paperspace.
If a client wants a dgn with the model & papaerspace contents, essentially sending each sheet in one space, what is the recommended procedure?
Do we have to use chspace in each sheet followed by a maptrim to the viewport?

You can right-click on the layout and choose Export to Model.
Thanks Todd. I assume I have to export to dwg before export to model so the C3D objects go along nicely?

In the help file for 2015, it says there's a selection in the Files Export Table to "Include Sheets". I'm assuming it's there for 2014 as well. I don't know how this works, good luck. Just remember KISS, simple linetypes, simple text styles (no shx), etc.
It can certainly be done easily from the toolbar in 2015 - I've had mixed results in the Right Click Sheet tab and Export to Model route although I've had the need to supply DGN files

Thanks to all for responding. I appreciate all of the input. I will try to fire up 2015 and give it a go.

I haven't used the Export Civil 3D Drawing tool as of yet. The last project that was required in DGN, I used the Export to Model from the layout tab then exported the DWG to DGN. The Export to Model had a few issues exporting surfaces and pipe networks so I ran an export on the model files then re-referenced the sheets.
