Quick Contours

This command draws contours for a selected triangulation model at a given contour interval. The purpose of this routine is to quickly get a picture of the surface model from the contours. The contours are drawn as temporary graphics that get cleared when the display is redrawn. To create contour entities, use other routines such as Contour From TIN File or Triangulate & Contour.
