As part of the civil, survey or construction industry, there are a lot of useful tools within Autodesk Civil 3D  2023 to help get a quick look at the surface.   You can do this by using different parameters and showing different information including elevations, slope, slope directions, and more.   Once inside the Surface Properties dialogue box, you’ll click on the analysis tab which has several different ways to show and analyze both the surface and a legend (data table).

 In this video, you’ll get an overview of the Slope Analysis tool, Watershed analysis, a glimpse into a few other analysis tools including the Elevations  The video also shows how to create legends of the surface analysis results and how to change text and information inside the legend as well.   When choosing one of the surface analysis options in the drop down, think about why you may want to use specific tools, and how to display and modify the display for those goals.
