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.

Grade Parking Lot Flowlines from a Feature Line
Grade Parking Lot Flowlines from a Feature Line

Nate Philbrick demos how to employ a Feature Line and a Grading to create Parking Lot flowlines in Civil 3D.

This is a part of a multiple video demo of the classic Feature Lines Only mechanics to grade the top surface of parking lot in Civil 3D.
A simple Grading like this one will generally remain stable.
Nice to see Nate base and get all the horizontal control for the parking lot design from an XREF drawing.
Instead of a Grading to create the intermediate surface, we could employ a simple Corridor and an Assembly with simple Link subassemblies or Lanes.
One advantage of the Corridor approach is we can generate the edge Feature Lines for both the Flowlines and our grading subgrade(s) in one pass with a Lane Sub.

We know that Civil 3D Features work well to help us perform site grading in Civil 3D.
When we combine them with Multiple Baseline Corridors, we get more adaptive and dynamic solutions.
We need to understand more about Corridor Region Frequency
and learn to better manage Referenced design control in our projects to perform this work well.
See our Blog Posts video page for more details about that.

Autodesk's Jeff Bartels covers a quick tip of a method to add a background color to Civil 3D Corridor Hatch.

This nifty stacked Code Set Style trick works with any subassembly that includes multiple stacked Link codes assigned in the Subassembly.
It is also possible to employ levels of screened printing to both the hatch and the background fill in both STB and CTB with some planning.
Remember that Civil 3D includes the important Generic Pavement Structure (GPS) subassemblies which allow us the considerable liberty to assign custom Code names and other details inside the sub.
