Create Contour Layer From DEM

Is it possible to make the contour interval less than 1 (see attached dialogue box screenshot), such as 0.5 or 0.25.

I think I might know the answer to this as it has crashed when I attempt it.

Any workarounds?

Hi Barry,
Select the intervals and type in anything you want. I tried it just now with a 70MB Tiff. So dense, the contours became a solid color.

Well, it would appear using < 1.0 contour intervals were not the reason for Civil to crash, as it did in several attempts on a certain dataset. I tried it on a medium sized area and a large area and it did work. I will have to re-check the data.
