Speed Up Corridor Target Mapping in Civil 3D with the Hidden “Set All Targets” Feature

A corridor that is clearly visible in plan view and profile view does not appear in section views created along sample lines. The section views are blank or missing expected corridor geometry.

Feature lines added as breaklines to a surface have no impact—elevations and slopes remain unchanged.

After updating or refreshing a Data Shortcut for a surface, the surface disappears from the drawing or shows as unresolved.

Civil 3D labels (such as surface spot elevations or alignment labels) shift position when the viewport scale changes, leading to misaligned or overlapping annotations.

Structures (like manholes or inlets) appear placed correctly in plan view but do not connect to pipes in the Civil 3D pipe network. The system does not treat them as part of the same network.

If Civil Objects display in Model Space but not a Paper Space Viewport.  It may display fine in an earlier version of Civil 3D but do not display in newer version.

After updating to Windows 11 24H2 Civil 3D 2026 will not launch.

The default Curb assemblies only offer a simple extension option; this post will show how to create a sloped wedge base.

When you start the 1st run using the Command under Home>Pipe Network from the Ribbon to produce the 1st run. This appears to work.
