Where is the Create Contours tool located?

Contours from a surface are generated using tools that live with surface analysis features, not with drafting or data-editing tools. That’s why the Create Contours tool sits in the Contours section of the Surfaces tab. The Surfaces tab is where you manage terrain models and other surface data, and the Contours group provides the commands you need to generate elevation lines from those surfaces, typically by specifying an interval and boundaries. The other areas mentioned—Drafting tab’s Corridor section for roadway geometry, Point Clouds tab’s Edit section for manipulating scanned points, and Photogrammetry tab’s Support section for photogrammetry tasks—serve different workflows, so they aren’t where contour generation belongs.
