Are you trying to get it in 0.15 elevation increments or 0.15 depth of fill over the entire site? If the former, perhaps something like this: http://civil3dplus.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/fillin

I don't know about tables, but I think this is the best option to get the right contours to display:

I have checked the dashboard solution Sir, but unfortunately I already have submitted the areas for fill using the elevation analysis. I can create a flat surface but I could not know the exact elevation in my first layer.
Please find attached herewith the sample drawing.
Kindly enlighten me more.

Ive not got Civil3D on this computer but a thought of how to get the 0.15 0.3 0.45 etc contours to reflect actual ground level would be to extract the user contours and convert to feature lines taking the levels from the EGL and the raising the feature lines by the appropriate amount e.g. 0.15 0.3 0.45 etc.
There's probably a slicker way to do this but I haven't though too hard about it......may take a look when next in front of Civil 3D

I am trying to fill the area with 15cm increments Sir. I found your dashboard solution more accurate however I have already submitted the areas for fill with 15cm increments, they now gave a method statement and planning documents with respect to that areas.
If I will make a flat surface and try to raise it every 15cm starting from the lowest point, my 1st layer of 15cm accummulates different area than my previous areas using elevation analysis.
Thank you for any ideas you can provide Sir.

You seem to be assuming that the 1.35 - 1.50 range area is the lowest portion of the site.
This is not necessarily the case. It could be the lowest portion of the existing ground, or it could simply be the highest portion of the proposed ground. From your sample section it looks like it's a combination of both.
Are the 15cm lifts of fill necessarily placed horizontally? If so, it looks like you could have identified your areas wrong. Cut/Fill contours represent an even amount of cut or fill, but do not represent a horizontal line in real life.

So whtaever I find in the Area for elevation banding is totally wrong? We need to place the fill horizontally 15cm thick to justify the specs for our client.
Any other method how could I do this Sir?

See my post in message 12 of this discussion. That method will generate horizontal contours in 15cm intervals from whatever starting elevation you specify. In that case you only need to make sure you specify the right elevation to start from.
