Import ReCap Point Clouds into Infraworks
Import ReCap Point Clouds into Infraworks

Jeff Bartels of Autodesk explains how to import a Recap Pro Point Cloud into Infraworks and create a ground surface.
From the Jeff Bartels YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Immersion blog.
Comments
First - Jeff's note from the post is pretty important:
NOTE: Point clouds created from imagery will produce surface elevations matching a site’s vegetation: grass, brush, crops, etc. (Basically, the surface represents what the camera “sees”.) Point clouds created from Lidar however, will provide the most accurate bare earth extraction as the laser used to collect the data is capable of penetrating vegetation.
Jeff covers the important ReCap Pro and Infraworks mechanics to produce a validated surface from the data.

USCAD's Ron Couillard demonstrates two practical methods to adjust a modelspace View with DVIEW TWIST and UCS OBJECT commands in Civil 3D.
From the USCADBuilding YouTube channel
and Ron Couilard's blog on USCAD.com
Comments
My only addition to Ron's great walk-throught is that you usually want to create a named modelspace View when you get the desired rotated result.
That saves you the effort of having to work throught the whole process again and the named View provides more consistent results.
