Jeewana Meegahage walks through a number of the most frequently employed Alignment Creation Tool options in a single alignment definition.
The important fact that we can define disconnected segments of the Alignment indepentently before we connect them together should not be overlooked in the demo.
Visit the JeewC3D YouTube page.

Note that our OSNAP Settings and the Alignment Extension Line specifics covered in this basic video does make the Alignment segment creation work much easier.

It is way to easy to us to forget that the order of data in Civil 3D Surfaces is always the most important thing. The Surface Edit stack is our friend.
Not mentioned here that can also bite or bless us...
The potential particulars and specifics in the Build Properties of the Surface - Triangle length restrictions for example.

A decent instructional video that demos the essentials of the classic Civil 3D Plan Production Tools using the Ascent courseware dataset.
In our projects it is usually a good idea to create the ViewFrames and ViewFrameGroups in the project DREF drawings that store and share the Alignment geometries.
This allows us to create and recreate consistent and standardized Plan and Profile Sheets for the various deliverables we must produce.
It is also possible to employ publish Alignments that differ from the actual design Alignment geometry. If we do that then we have to take more care with the displayed Labels.
