WINDOWS ON THE MODEL 13
Because building label styles is a critical part of producing plans with Civil 3D, a later section
of this chapter looks at how to build a new basic label and some of the common components
that appear in every label style throughout the product.
Commands Almost every branch in the Settings tree contains a Commands folder. Expanding
this folder, as shown in Figure 1.11, shows you the typical long, unspaced command names
that refer to the parent object.

Survey
The Survey palette is displayed optionally and controls the use of the survey, equipment, and
figure prefix databases. Survey is an essential part of land-development projects. Because of the
complex nature of this tab, all of Chapter 3, ‘‘Lay of the Land: Survey,’’ is devoted to it.
Toolbox
The Toolbox is a launching point for add-ons and reporting functions. To access the Toolbox, from
the Home tab in the Ribbon, select Toolspace  Palettes  Toolbox. Out of the box, the Toolbox
contains reports created by Autodesk, but you can expand its functionality to include your own
macros or reports. The buttons on the top of the Toolbox, shown in Figure 1.12, allow you to
customize the report settings and add new content.
