Creating surface from SOSI, adding contour labels

Hi! New Autocad user here. Please forgive me for posting such a green post. I have recently started a new job, and learing autocad is one of the tasks. 

 

Been trying to add contour labels for "ages" now.

 

Im trying to label contours imported from SOSI. I think I have figured out that I need to create a surface before I can do this.

 

Been following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1VCaU8w1Y

 

Which basically teaches me to first isolate layers >> create surface >> add contour data and it is here I fail. 

 

When I mark the data I want to use as contour data, and then hit enter, nothing happens. 

 

I suspect that it has something to do with the model I'm using. Polylines with z values asigned to them. Looks like ordinary map data from any basic supplier, only its the norwegian standard.

 

I dont think I can post the data here, but ask me some questions and I'll try figure them out as best I can.

If you have polylines with elevations, this YouTube video will help:
