Civil 3D Pipe networks to SDF Question

I don't believe AD has addressed the coordinate transformation issue when exporting C3D objects to SDF, which are usually designed using surface coordinates.  I'm curious as to how you guys are working around this?

Quick workaround is to mapimport the SDF file back into C3D and scale it, then mapexport to SHP.

I'm surprised this isn't an issue for people. How do you exchange accurate information for GIS, which is what most advanced H&H programs run of off? How do you display your pipe network for KMZ files? Quite simply: How can you provide your Civil 3D design data to be spatially coordinated with most mapping platforms - Including Infraworks?
