What Should the Den Tackle Next?

I have a running list of Civil 3D topics, software gremlins, and workflow headaches to cover—but I want to hear from you.
Is there anything you would like me to dig into?
It could be a Civil 3D tool that never behaves the way you expect, an ACC/Forma workflow issue, a recurring error, a best-practice question, or one of those “there has to be a better way” tasks.
Drop your ideas in the comments. No topic is too basic, too weird, or too annoyingly specific.
As always, thank you for stopping by the Den.
It is not a bug. It is a feature. Allegedly.




I see surveyors now sending thier own C3d surfaces, thiese things are massive and so hard to work with. I miss the days of a nice looking contour, yes I know lidar is great, but it is so hard to work with. Any good workflows to make draings smaller without degrading the surfaces too much? Simplify surface doesnt do much for me
