Creating contours from LiDar data

I'm trying to create countours from lidar data.  I've been able to bring in lidar data and generate a solid surface in Autocad Map.  However, I have not been able to figure out how to create a usable surface out of this.  Is there anyway to export this data to a .grd or .tin file?  I am using Autocad Map 3D 2015 with Carlson Civil Suite 2015.  I have used Autocad for the past 11 years and just recently started a new job that uses Autocad Map, so I'm still trying to adjust.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

If you have a surface attached, you can create contours in the Display Manager.  Just right-click the surface layer and choose Create Contour Layer.
