In Earthwork: "Multi Elevation" style button that automatically picks up 2 "good" contours and changes the 3rd

When I import CAD contours, sometimes there are contours with the wrong elevations outside of my elevations limits.  It would be nice to have a function sort of like the "Multi Elevation" tool, where I could draw a line from two correct contours and over the incorrect contour and the program would see the direction I am going, do the math for the two correct contours and change the incorrect contour to the next elevation automatically.  As it stands now, I need to click on the incorrect contour, Shift click on the correct contour, Shift click on the incorrect contour to deselect it so that I can see what the correct contour's elevation is, and if i don't know the direction of travel, I need to shift click on the next correct contour, and then shift click to deselect the previous contour to see what the next contour's elevation is.  Then I need to do the math in my head, for what the incorrect contour's elevation should be, then I need to click on the incorrect contour, hit the "X" key and type in the correct elevation.  I think it's pretty obvious how this function would save time, especially with really bad CAD files.  Actually why stop at 3 contours, just have the function pick up the first 2 contours that it crosses, do the math, and then every other line that it crosses will change to the correct elevation in order; whether the rest of the contours that the line crosses are out of the elevation limits or not.
