Here are the 3 top tools you have to check out for Civil 3D:
Pipe Network Productivity Tools
Automation tools for AutoCAD Civil 3D Pipe Networks. This tools suite will save you time and effort allowing you to quickly make modifications to entire networks or subsets thereof, as well as help you project to profile views and label your design.
Automation tools to assist in the design and grading of a residential subdivision. Once you have lot lines as Feature Lines with assigned elevations at the edge of corridor established from a road design surface and pad placements that are four sided lines, use Lot Grader for a fence selection across lot lines and pads and allow the tool to establish elevations and grades of the lot lines, pads, and the creation of reveal feature line linework offsetting from the pad feature line in seconds! This allows you to iterate through several designs very quickly to perform earthwork quantities and plan for discussion. Additional tools allow for quickly labeling spot elevations, slopes, and pad elevations in multiple files at once.
Automation tools for AutoCAD Civil 3D Surfaces and Profiles. This tools suite will save you time and effort allowing you to quickly make modifications surfaces and profiles for your design needs.
