This is a great quick walk-through of Map 3D capabilities, GIS integration, and Civil 3D tools.
Mark covers the Civil 3D Pipes import tool which often gets lost in the shuffle since it is hidden in the Ribbon.
He does not cover WMS Aerial Imagary via FDO which you also do not want to miss.
See the WMS and DWF Aerial Imagery video and post.
