This is an excellent overview of Drone-based reality capture, the planning, the tools and resources, and how the Autodesk AEC Collection products may be employed.
In that case the Whys and Hows all will probably matter to you. Thank you, Justin.

If you know nothing about Survey in Civil 3D, this video is for you. A one hour class of the elemental essentials of Survey setup detail.
Lots more Powerpoint than advertized but that is probably necessary given the new user centric level of instruction offered.
Includes lots of instructional material and example demos of Survey Db setup and details; how Linecodes for Figures work; and a little basic Description Keys.

The Traverse Editor Tool in Civil 3D

Scott explains the details of the Traverse Editor pretty well. He covers the most important entry methods well for a once over.
An important reminder and word of caution...
You want to immediately Save the travese file as soon as you establish a POB and can do so.
In the Traverse Editor we are working memory in Civil 3D and not really in a drawing. The actual data relies on the file we save. Save often.
You may also want to save separate files for audit purposes and a library of TRV files can be a useful project resource.
For some silly reason the Traverse Editor still only produces polyline output and no Civil 3D Features like Parcels, Alignments, or Figures.
