• You can have dual installations of Select Series 2 and Select Series 3.
• Recommendations:– Dual Install– Roadway Designer projects (ird files) are not forward
compatible. So, if you have a lot of work invested in a project, keep it in Select Series 2.
– Site Modeler is removed in Select Series 3, so you might need to finish gsf projects in Select Series 2.
• A dual install probably requires maintaining dual standards since many setup files are not backward compatible.

compatible– Seed Files –
• Civil Formatting in DGN Settings are different.• Survey Settings are different
– Corridor Settings– Design Standards
Which Files Cannot be Shared Between Select Series 2 and 3.

• Commands such as Trace Slope can use a feature definition to control the symbology of the elements they create.
• Over time you might want special feature definitions for these and other purposes.
• In the beginning, though, use something you already have or just use Microstation active symbology.
