Where to get the Civil 3D Productivity Pack Tool and Revit Installer for Shared Reference Points is covered.
Use the Shared Reference Point Tool in Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks, and Infraworks 360 2017
Comments
John covers the setup of the Shared Reference command in both Civil 3D and Revit.
Multiple Revit model exports and reference attachments in Civil 3D are performed in both 2D and 3D.
The necessary Revit export settings are covered for the DWG exports.
The Revit model is also exported and displayed in Navisworks with the Civil 3D model added.
John constructs a new Infraworks 360 model from scratch and brings in the Civil 3D surface and entire 3D Revit model.
The live drone survey and Autodesk Recap was employed to build the surface used in the project and a geo-referenced tif.
Shared Reference Point tools are available for Autodesk 2015+ products.
This is a must watch video demo of the current state of Autodesk product interoperability and use.
Tangent Slope Control By Superelevation

Tangent Only Civil 3D Superelevation Tricks
Comments
Alan Gilbert of Autodesk explains the step by step on how to manually build and employ Civil 3D Superelevation Control on a tangent for slope control of lanes, shoulders, and structures.
From Alan's YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Imersion blog.
Pay attention that the subassemblies you employ are superelevation aware and set up properly as shown in the video.
Note that your tangent is faked as a curve in the Superelevation calculation tool. This is not initially intuitive.
This is a slick way to flatten lane slopes through intersections. You might want to document that you did this in the Alignment's description.
If there are previous Superelevation values on the Alignment make sure you clear them first. This is good practice even if you do not change the Super method Alignment Settings.
Anytime you have to redo a superelevation calculation it is probably good practice to start from scratch. Ok. Not always.
Note that in some older releases of Civil 3D, the software will hold onto earlier super values when you do not expect it.
