How to Combine Civil 3D Alignments
Comments
Chris Fugitt, Civil 3D Expert Elite and author of the Civil 3D Reminders blog fame, details a basic method to join Alignments together in Civil 3D.
From the Chris' YouTube Channel.
Here's the Civil 3D Reminders blog link
There is no built-in tool to accomplish this task in Civil 3D. This quick and dirty approach works if you can destroy one of the Alignments.
Edits to promoted copies of the Alignments from Data Shortcuts always works and keeps a record of before and after if you need that.
You could also set your OSNAP to NODE (one at each end of every Alignment segment) and build a combined new one with the Alignment Layout Toolbar Tools.
That has the QAQC advantage of making you check the relationships and properties of the segments in more detail, but it takes more time.

The Basics of an Alignment Station and Offset Point Report
Comments
Jerry Bartels of Autodesk covers the basics of a Station and Offset report from the Civil 3D Toolbox of an Alignment in Civil 3D.
From the Jerry's YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Imersion blog.
Jerry, your Excel skills make me shudder, but the basic sorting tips are good.
Older releases of Civil 3D may only support html output, but that's no big deal.
See the Alignment Based Point Group post for details of how to employ this report
to produce Alignment related Point Groups, Labels, etc in Civil 3D.
That post has the step-by-step method you can employ to relate point data to any Alignment for any purpose. Awesome!
The Deliverables video training course available here to Members takes this to a more productive level.

How to Build Basic Assemblies and Corridors in Civil 3D
Comments
KaDe King of USCAD covers the basics of Assembly, Corridor, and Intersection mechanics in Civil 3D in an hour from the USCAD YouTube Channel.
Thanks, KaDe. KaDe always teaches fundamentals well.
This is a good webinar on the Civil 3D roadway Corridor and Intersection essential mechanics.
Please note her attention to the naming conventions is indeed obsessive and absolutely necessary.
Needless to say, I'd probably start with the Intersections and
not the Corridor Regions in between the obvious multiple Intersections in the project.
See the infamous Intersections and Corridors training video page
for a more Complex Corridor advanced method and practice.
