h1. How to create a Survey database in Civil 3D
Abbreviations:
DB- Database
C3D- Civil 3D
h2. 1. Setting up the Working Folder
A working folder needs to be created where the survey databases gets stored. In the *Toolbox* > Right click on *Survey databases* > Set the working folder - Save the folder in the desired location. We are setting the Working Folder for the Civil 3D databases in C:

h2. 2. Creating a database
Right click on *Survey databases* > *New local Survey database* - Enter the name> click ok. A survey DB is created (It is in bold which signifies it is the current DB under use). Multiple DB's can be created. A survey DB can be opened for editing by right click > *open for edit*. It can be closed by right click > *close for edits*. A survey DB can also be opened as *read-only* by same procedures.
h2. 3. Setting up the database
Survey Database(abc) > Right click + Survey Database Settings > Specify co-ordinate Zone > Distance- Metre > Temperature - Celsius > Pressure - Millibars > Distance type - Horizontal > Vertical type - Vertical Distance.
Then the next step is to create the Networks under which the point data gets uploaded. For example in our case we have - TS and RTK
h2. Components of Survey Database
Survey database in civil 3D has the following components when expanded.
# Import Events
# Survey Queries
# Networks
# Network Groups
# Figures
# Figure Groups
# Survey Points
# Survey point Groups
