The Offset Alignment and Feature Line projection methods outlined in this demo will generally produce what most folks need most of the time. Hoorah.
Why the methods sometimes won't or don't produce what we want is also discussed. Pay careful attention.
In Civil 3D we learn to pick our poison.
Another method is to employ Civil 3D Corridor output to generate COGO Points at the required locations and then project the generated Point objects into our Section Views.
This Point projection method can be more flexible about the displayed results and a bit less tedious in practice if we learn to employ shared Survey Dbs to store the Point output.
That Civil 3D project based workflow allows us access to that data in any of our deliverable output drawings.
