Why can't I see contours on my surface?

I create a surface. Then add a point file. The Surface boundary shows up but I see no contours or triangles. If I 3drotate and esc from that command I can then see triangles.
I need to show contours, or better yet colors, to provide a good visual of the existing ground.
Thanks

Hi,
did you use a surface-style that is setup to show contours?
Select the surface, right-click to get the context-menu ==> modify style and look then
a) within contours-tab to set the distances
b) in the display-tab check if contours are switched on or off (for both, 2D and 3D separately)

Right click on your surface and select Surface properties.
Set your "Surface Style" to a style that has contours.
