How to Create and then Display Corridor Section Overrides in Civil 3D
Autodesk's Jeff Bartels covers the essentials and perhaps reasons for a Corridor Section Override
Once you build a Section Override how to you display them easily in Civil 3D?
Civil 3D includes a number of ways to get at the Overrides in a Corridor and Jeff covers them. We'd like to make them visible.
The Corridor Design Style has included this QAQC capability for a long time.

There are many other hidden wonders in Civil 3D Style. Sadly, these are often too easy to miss.
No surprise. Autodesk's pretty useless example templates don't even provide viable examples of production QAQC Civil 3D Styles much if at all.
Needless to say, the Framework for Civil 3D includes Style Tool goodies like this already built-in.

Alan's Tip 2 in this useful video really is - we need to read and understand the specifics of the subassembly parameters.
We all tend to be easily tricked into bad assumptions based on what Civil 3D shows us on the screen.
We include the online Subassembly Reference Help links on our Autodesk Online Help page.
In the real world we'd probably use Offset Alignments not polylines for the horizontal targets.

Parent and Child Label Style Display in Civil 3D

When you need to create a variation of a Civil 3D label style create a child style.
A child is simply a copy of the parent that is linked to the original style. In a child style, you can override as many of the original settings as you like, and if the original style is ever modified, those changes will propagate to the child style(s).
All the modified (overridden) settings in the children will not change.

Did you know you could do that with AutoCAD Grips with Civil 3D Profiles and Civil 3D Group Labels? Maybe not. You have control.
Jeff breezes over the critical Style Management issues of component naming and Label Style structure to make his important points.
