That is ...
I'm learning c3d in english, but some times I dont understand well which part is which.
I need some schemas showing the parts and names of any common part of a road, highway, etc.
Any northamerican or english who could tell me where to get it ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

One assumption you're making (and I can see why based on post from non-US uses) is that the US or North America has one standard. They can vary from State to State and even within a state. I've found that what I'd think of as the common name for component often doesn't match what it's called in Civil 3D. We do have the FHWA Standard Specifications but the States tend to mangle them in to their own form.
I would think you're best bet is to review the Subassembly Reference in Help. First go through the Subassemblies at a Glance section. Then review the ones relevant to your project.
If you have a specific question. Post back with an image and we'll see if we can help.

I'm searching something basic, almost for students.
I'd like to see, for example, a cross section or profile view with all the terminology for every component.....
A curb are going to be a curb in Texas and Iowa, aren't it?
Thanks.
Try these.

Thanks Allen
Is it easy to find these illustrations ?
Any book for civil engineers you can recommend me ?
Thanks
Many government agencies publish design standards, with standard details etc. I just tried a Google search for the CalTrans standards and found this link. Chapter 60 in particular includes a whole series of definitions which may be useful.

Those were a couple of images from in-house.
THIS isn't exactly an engineering design book. But it covers the basics of design in Civil 3D.

How old is this thing? The first sentence that caught my eye when I opened the link was this:
Equipment needed for ether method may include a staff compass, two Abney levels or clinometers, fiberglass engineer's tape (30 or 50 m), a range rod, engineering field tables, notebook, maps, photos, crayons, stakes, flagging, and pencils.
I was looking for something basic and free. Methods have changed but the basics remain the same. One of the books on Surveying methods I like to give people is about 50 years old. No mention of EDMs or GPS. But it's a good foundation in how Survey information is colleted and reduces.
One of the problems today is how is someone supposed to know when a curve or a profile doesn't look right if they don't know what they should look like or how they are calculated.

I certainly agree with you on that point, but if I handed an Abney level to one of the junior people in this office it would probably be about the equivalent of giving them a "dial" telephone and asking them to make a long distance call.

I might be able to go downstairs and find one. The problem is that most of the engineers here would be more more likely to recognize that then the modern equipment. Actually, our phone system is just one generation above the dial. Our phones look exactly like the final generation of phones with dials except there is a keypad instead of a dial. All hold, transfer, 3 way calls, etc. functions have to be done with tap codes on the cradle receive switch.
