It appears that separate layering of depression contours is still NOT supported in Civil 3D 2018. Is this still true? There have been user requests for this for at least a decade, and most contouring/DTM packages that create depression contours have supported this for many years. Are there any automated workarounds for this? Right now, my best workaround is to create the contours in Inroads.

Thank you for your reply. All you say is true, however, the "relayer them that way if you prefer" is a tedious manual process. Before one could relayer more than a few, let alone hundreds or thousands of contours, one could have exported the DTM to Inroads, pressed a couple of buttons, and presto, finished!
Hi @Anonymous thanks for your post!
Currently there is not a great workflow for isolating and layering depression contours separately. I can see how this would be a time-consuming process if you have multiple large surfaces.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. While I will make a note to check if this is on the development team's radar, I would still direct you (here!) to submit your idea, even if you have for previous versions.
Just wondering if there's anything new on this. If Civil 3d can identify which contours are depression contours, you'd think there'd be a way to lsolate them or assign them to their own layer(s), wouldn't you?
