A good instructional video that demos the nuances of getting a Pressure Pipe Run Profile to follow a finished grade surface based on set PVI points.
Whether we choose to employ an AtuoCAD polyline or construct the Run Alignment geometry with the other Civil 3D Run creation tools may become more significant than what is covered here.

KISS. Often the quick and dirty method is the best way.
By the way - the formating of the Toolspace shown here isn't actually necessary to copy and export the data into a Sheet in Excel.
Probably the most important thing to recognize is that almost all of the AutoCAD and Civil 3D spreadsheet like dialog boxes produce data the easily drops into Excel.
That doesn't mean we should forget and/or neglect to format the Excel column properties in the Sheets appropriately.
