 The Civil 3D Toolspace 

The Civil 3D  Toolspace is the main window for managing data, settings, and styles in Civil 3D. It is accessible from the Ribbon, on the Palettes panel. 

The Toolspace is organized in four tabs.

1. The Prospector tab, where we will work most of the time, is used to manage data and create design entities. It has several collections or items, where Civil 3D data is organized. Among the collections, we can find Points and Point Groups, Surfaces, Alignments, Sites, Catchments, Pipe Networks and many more.
2. The Settings tab is used to manage style and settings. 
3. The Survey tab is used to import and manage survey data by creating databases including the survey database, the equipment database, the figure prefix database, and linework code sets.
4. The Toolbox tab is used to create reports.  It can generate output for points, surfaces, parcels, pipes, profiles, and more.
