Created individual blocks at the needed scales with Annotative functionality , then created a final block that used them.

For a long time, with Autodesk Civil 3D I have wanted a smart contour label that drops decimal values.

Take a look at an odd Alignment length and stationing issue within Civil 3D which is made obvious when viewed in profile view. Below is a simple recreation of the issue.

When placing an Alignment in a Site they may end up creating more problems than anything.

At times the need to display and label objects in Section Views is needed but having to deal with corridors and their complexity may appear daunting or overkill.

In some cases within Autodesk Civil 3D Pipe Network loses it's assigned Reference Surface from the Corridor.

Within Civil 3D, the View Edit Sections is an easy way to look at the corridor without having to create sample lines and section views.

The scenario is within Autodesk Civil 3D when creating a composite surface by pasting EG (existing grade) and FG (finished grade) together.

If a Civil 3D label content is edited in any way it will be marked with a Glyph.

Keyboard shortcuts provide access to functions within AutoCAD and Civil 3D,

Autodesk Civil 3D provides great tools for calculating surface volumes. Early releases of Civil 3D (pre-2012) analyzed composite Surface volumes in the Panorama vista as a simple calculator.

Civil 3D Profiles that are generated from Surfaces are locked by default. They are dynamically tied to their source Surface and if the terrain or alignment changes, it will be automatically updated.

During a recent custom Civil 3D class, a client wanted to adjust their labels styles to reduce the gap in between lines of text (as seen below) but was struggling in accomplishing the needed look.
