If the contours are closed (and non-overlapping) polygons you should use the Region to Grid function in VM. If your lines are simple lines or the polygons overlap, it would be best to extract all of the nodes along those lines into a new points table (with all of the attributes found in your lines.tab). Use the Poly-to-Point function in VM. Create a grid off of the points.tab, make a 3-D drape file and you're on your way!
