hec-ras. import profiles into autocad

[CityWF]

I am trying to import hec-ras data into autocad. First I created the geo file and exported it out of autocad, then modeled it in hec-ras and made the .sdf file and imported it back into autocad. I can get the alignment back and a profile of the existing ground but I can't get the water surface elevations to show up. They are listed in the prospector in the site/ profile location. There are 10yr, 50yr, 100yr, and 500yr. So my big question is, How do I get the water surface elevations to show up in the profile?

I am searching for ideas so if you just have a guess I would love to hear it.

Thanks, Janet (CityWF)

Can you attach the drawing? It sounds like it successfully imported, but you are unable to show the profile in the profile view. If that isn't the case, can you zip your sdf file and attach that?

Jason, thanks for the video. The solution to my problem is at 1:04 in the video. I love the fact you can pick/select from the prospector and the ribbon changes and everything just like you picked it off the drawing. Nice! 

and Matt, The speaker mentions your name at about the same place. 

Thanks again Guys,

Janet
