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.
Autodesk Civil 3D supports the projection of AutoCAD and Civil 3D objects: Points, Solids, Blocks, Multi View Blocks, 3D Polylines, COGO Points, Feature Lines, or Survey Figures.
The software presents the option to project to a Singular or Multiple Views. The Dialog box will show what Civil or AutoCAD objects can be projected.
Further refinement/filtering can be done by using the Edit Output Display column browse button
It is important to note that appropriate label styles will need to be created.

- From the Ribbon Home tab > Profile & Section View panel > expand Section View button > select > Project Objects to Multiple Section Views

- Review Projection results on Cross Sections.
