I'd like to learn how to calc dirt quantities in Civil 3D. Not just on roads, but say you have a small mountain of dirt that needs to be hauled away, and the contractor asks if you can quickly tell him how much dirt is there. And subgrade quantities for pads. Things like that.
First off, I'd need to learn the correct terminology. Knowing what to call stuff can at least make you sound less stupid when you ask a question.
Can anyone point me to some YouTubes or books that start with the basics?

The help files and tutorials that come with the software are a pretty good place to start. Try this link.

Thanks, Steve and Neil. Autodesk University sounds interesting. And I'll take another headlong tackle at the help files and tutorials. I haven't had much luck with them in the past. I've learned a lot with YouTube videos, but on the subject of quantitates there isn't much out there. After I master this subject, I think I'll make one.
