Civil 3D Styles

[dkuhn]

Rather then invent all my new styles for objects and labels does Civil 3d have a templates so I can get styles other than standard for everything. For example is there a place where I could get surface styles: triangles and contours, contours alone, slopes, etc

I feel like I am reinventing the wheel and really don't want to set this up for every drawing.

Yes there are included four templates with predefined styles in them.
The problems you are having is one reason AutoDesk is marketing a
special consultant services thats ONLY job is to help the user establish
their own styles for things in 3d.

That being said if one opens their own drawing, and then
opens another file based on the template it is possible
to utilize the Toolspace in Master view and drag some but
not all setting from the standard template file into the file one
is developing as their own standard template for 3D project work.
