Creating contourlines from pointcloud/surface

[Anonymous]

Hi.

I have imported some LIDAR data (LAS) to Recap and made a point cloud. I imported the point cloud to Civil 3D and made a surface there. I like to show/draw contour lines. I thought it can be done by choosing "Surface properties" and choosing a style under information..., but as I see there is only one available style defined/available under Surface style... Attached photo illustrate the situation more. Any hints?

What template was used to start the drawing?

If you don't have a custom template with styles all set up then try using one of the default Civil 3d templates such as _AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS.dwt

or _AutoCAD Civil 3D (Metric) NCS.dwt.

These templates contain several predefined styles.

Thanks Jay for your solution.

It worked. I tried the AutoCAD Civil 3D (Metric) NCS.dwt now and see that I have more available style.
