Ability to make Geometry Profile models indexed DGN models for ease of use & design workflows

Similar to all the other models, we regularly want to go in and out of Alignment Profile models and the current methods of having to navigate to the geometry to access it is very disruptive and inefficient. Also, having these as hidden models limi...
