Amending surface styles

[Anonymous]

I have been out of civil 3d for a while so a bit rusty, I like to have a surface with contours, so that I have 0.1m increments min and 0.5m max but when I go to the surface properties to amend it I would have a standard set of 1m to 5m design & 2m to 5m background etc... in the surface style

Am I in the right place or shall i try something else.

edit the surface style. goto contours tab. in contours tab find the contour intervals. set the minor to 0.1 and the major will adjust itself.

What dgordon said, but I would copy the 1 and 5 m contour style first, renaming it to the intervals you want and then editing the properties.
