The lines were not shown in the viewer and also no visualizer-layer was created there. There was no error message in the log. But I made a little progress: I set up a new workspace with the ContourGenerator (what I already tried several times before), started the visualizer and suddenly it works. The lines are showing up in the visualizer. I again used the same unchanged shapefile to test it. I'm quite sure that I did not change anything in this configuration compared to my former workspaces. To find out what was wrong I tested some other parameter values for the ContourGenerator, but no problems anymore.
But there's still the problem with the SurfaceModeller: When I replace the ContourGenerator with the SurfaceModeller to generate contours I'm getting the following error Message saying that a minimum of 3 points are required: -------------- Unexpected Input Remover(TestFactory): Tested 49 input features -- 49 features passed, 0 features failed. Source -> Generic(TeeFactory): Cloned 49 input feature(s) into 49 output feature(s). 3DFORCER(TeeFactory): Cloned 49 input feature(s) into 49 output feature(s).

Program Terminating Translation FAILED. -------------- All other output ports of the SurfaceModeller are giving me a visual result in the visualizer, but only the CONTOURS port generates the error message above.
