Contours from an architect

So I recieved a whole bunch of contours from an architect.  They are lines and arc.  big sweeping arcs.  Whats the best and fastest way to create a good surface.  I can change them globally to a polyline but I need to add verticies like every 5 or 10 feet to get a good surface.  Can I select multiple feature lines (after converted) to add verticies?

 

thoughts?

I wouldn't add the verts to the entities but add then by changing the supplimental factor while adding contour data to the surface

Thank you

Trynders, your question is a trick question.  [...Whats the best and fastest way to create a good surface....]

 

There is no such thing as a "good" surface from contours.

Sorry, I can't be any more help than Joe.
