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.

Shawn Herring, a Prosoft Senior Applications engineer, quickly demos a Map Import of a ESRI Shapefile and how to create a subdivision of Civil 3D Parcels from it.
Visit the ProSoftCAD YouTube Channel page.

The Map Import capabilities in Civil 3D help in many phases of our civil projects. The drag and drop capability of a SHP file comes in handy.
Shawn covers how to employ the Civil 3D Parcel creation tools and simple AutoCAD mechanics to create a preliminary subdivision of Civil 3D Parcels.

Autodesk's Jeff Bartels reviews the method and practice to model a skewed Corridor in Autodesk Civil 3D 2025.
This demo details all the many steps necessary to develop a solution to this common problem in civil design.
See the Jeff Bartels YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Immersion blog.

The walk-through highlights many of the recent and important Corridor interface improvements made in recent releases of Civil 3D.
Jeff employs the concept of a twin (or intermediate) Corridor and Surface to build the interactive design control for the final design Corridor.
This is an important Civil 3D skill set worth learning.
In daily practice, we probably want to take the time to DREF the Reference Corridor (and all that design control) out of the construction drawing. Why?
We will almost always have additional Corridor-based design elements like the proposed bridge abutments (and/or the bridge itself) to construct that are also related to the same Reference Corridor design control.

A CAD Masters Civil 3D tech and trainer reviews and demos how to employ the Insection Wizard in a Civil 3D Corridor.
See the CAD Masters YouTube Channel.

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.
