How to make Grade Lines at every fixed distance?

I’m working in Autodesk Civil 3D and would like to display grade lines along a profile at fixed horizontal intervals — for example, every 50 meters.

Like this:

I’ve already added a Vertical Geometry Band to the profile view, but it only displays grade data at geometry points (PVI locations), which makes sense. 

Check screenshot below:

However, my goal is to show grade or elevation values at uniformly spaced stations, not just at geometry points.

Is there a way to create or display a grade line (or elevation annotation) at fixed distances along the alignment, such as every 50 meters?

Thank you in advance for any guidance!

Not sure about grade line but elevation can be shown - 10m spacing in this case

Hi,

In profile view properties--> Bands tab

Uncheck grid interval and set the 50m interval as desired

"Vertical Geometry" doesnt have the Inerval option. Please check the screenshot of my profile's bands:
