Autodesk Civil 3D Videos
Useful Civil 3D Training from public website sources
Autodesk staff, Autodesk Reseller staff, and consultants produce a wide range of video content. Some is product sales demo, but a lot of the staff and/or consultant recordings, lists, and channels include useful application training and helpful tips and tricks for Infrastructure Design products.
Content that is significant video training is listed here.

Nice to see a good intermediate training video about the use of the Civil 3D Intersection Wizard.
Most recent intesection demos employ a Connected Alignment based workflow.
It is not necessary to create new a separate Offset Alignments in the Intersection Wizard.
Just select Yes to use an existing Alignment or Profile then select the named design control that you created earlier.
It is also a good idea to create and manage Civil 3D Assembly Sets in separate library drawings from a known library location.
Jump Kit ships with multiple AASHTO compliant Assembly Sets in an easy to customize structured library. Imagine that.

All this important AutoCAD View setup work seems unnessary unitl we realize the work also translates into quicker and easier View setups in the plotted Viewports in our production Layouts.
The AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager looks for defined Named Views in our Project drawings. Imagine that.
Pay careful attention to all the many properties that we can save with a Named View in AutoCAD.
We save the annotative scale. Do we want to save the Layer State or not?

To employ these Civil 3D Style tools successfully we must know the source of our Known Good Style collections.
Be warned! The Style Import Tool does NOT import and/or check All the Civil 3D Style collections. Check for missing Style types in the Tools tree of the Style Import Tool in each release of Civil 3D.
We can employ the Insert/Explode method and the Blocks Palette to add entire Style collections to a drawing. This will not overwrite Style definitions.
We can update all the Styles in a drawing from a .dwg or .dwt file to another by employing the first resource as a Reference Template (TREF).
