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.

See our Civil 3D Survey at Jump Speed page for more advanced Survey help and videos

 

 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.

Scott explains the details of the Traverse Adjustment Tool. He covers the most important settings and methods to change your Traverse Adjustment Tool preferences.

The Civil 3D help files do clarify the differences in the adjustment methods supported in adequate detail for most folks.

Obviously, where you save the traverse files, adjustment files, and reports will matter in your project workflow.

Yes. Civil 3D Survey does support 3D Least Squares adjustments but for reasons I trust are obvious not in this tool and context.
