Generate a contour of specific elevation from existing surface

Is there a way for Civil3D to create/generate/extract a contour of a specific elevation such as 105.53 from an existing surface?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Create User Defined Contours and use that elevation as your sole range.

Thanks for the help.  It sounds simple enough, but how do I create user defined contours?  I can't seem to find that option or command.  We just installed C3D so I'm worried that maybe something wasn't installed correctly.  Thanks!

Need to go to Surface Properties and Analysis Tab then select User Defined Contours and select 1 range then edit in the box and OK out. You also need to make sure that your Surface Style has User Contours Layer turned On
