    This document discusses creating a new alignment style in Civil 3D. It describes the steps to take: 1) right-click the Alignment Styles folder and select New, 2) name and describe the new style, 3) switch to the Display tab and turn off the Arrow component, 4) change the view direction to Model. The document notes that object styles allow objects to have different appearances in plan versus 3D views. It recommends creating a full set of object styles by examining existing plan standards and creating a style for each use case.

    IT’S ALL ABOUT STYLE 25

    components of the object styles are common to almost all objects, so let’s create a new alignment
    style to introduce these common elements:
    1. Expand the Alignment branch on the Settings tab, and then right-click the Alignment Styles
    folder. Select New, as shown in Figure 1.23.

    2. Type a new name for your style on the Information tab, and enter a description if desired.
    3. Switch to the Display tab. The other two tabs are unique for alignment objects, but the Dis-
    play tab is part of every Civil 3D object style.
    4. Turn off the Arrow component by clicking the lightbulb in the column next to it.
    5. Near the top of the dialog, change the View Direction setting in the drop-down menu to
    Model, and notice the change.
    6. Click OK to dismiss the dialog. Your new alignment style appears under the Alignment
    Styles branch in the Settings tab.
    Objects can have distinctly different appearances when viewed in a plan view versus a 3D view.
    For example, surfaces are often represented by contours in plan view, but by triangular faces or a
    grid in 3D.
    Object styles are a major component of efficient Civil 3D object modeling. Objects appear differ-
    ently in varying plans. Having a full set of object styles to handle all of these uses can help make
    plan production as painless as possible.
    A good way to start creating object styles is to pull out a set of existing plans that accurately
    represent your firm’s standards. Pick an object, such as alignments or surfaces, and then begin
    working your way through the plan set, creating a new object style for each use case. Once you
    complete one object, pick another and repeat the exercise.
