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.

How To Calculate on Corridor Structure Material Volumes
Comments
Jeff Bartels of Autodesk walks through the basics of Structure Materials Volume calculation mechanics from a design Corridor in Civil 3D.
He covers the creation of the specific Structure based Material List Styles and how these are related to the Sample Line publishing Feature.
From the Jeff's YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Imersion blog.

All of Jeff's other Volume calculation videos:
Cut and Fill Corridor Volume Mechanics

Calculate Complex Material Volumes with Subcriteria
The Sample Line publication Feature in Civil 3D can be a bit befuddling to the new Civil 3D user.
Why do I need all these styles to get a "simple" Average End Area report? Because Civil 3D needs to know exactly what you mean by that.
You want to do this work in a publishing drawing and not a project design drawing. Civil 3D can do the work from an XREF corridor model.
Did you pay attention to the application of Material Styles to the Shapes in the Corridor Sections as a QAQC tool?
It is way too easy to miss that.
The Alignment is the Design Control Manager in Civil 3D. You will need one in the publication drawing to collect the Sample Line Group and its parts.
Even our most basic Templates Only product includes all the necessary Style tools prebuilt for you.

How to Create Best Fit Profiles from a Civil 3D Surface
Comments
Jeff Bartels of Autodesk covers the basic of Best Fit mechanics for both the entire Best Fit profile and Best Fit segment methods in Civil 3D.
This addresses the problem of how to best match an existing surface to a new design profile for a roadway reconstruction.
From the Jeff's YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Imersion blog.
This all works great but you might actually want to match and evaluate the actual surveyed point data not a sampled surface built from that.
Note that if you pay attention in the video you can create Best Fits of either types from point data too.
That method including methods for Best Fit Alignments is covered in detail in our Deliverables course up in Video Training if you Register and login.
