Ah! Ha! This well done, detailed, and mostly complete video demos one of the many Joys of FDO.
Note that you will need to export and republish the FDO contour Surface if your proposed surface is included in the FDO's surface model.
Don't just neglect or forget those standard USGS themes.
These are often more than enough detail to guide your design process once you get used to them.
They might also remind you to change things around when it comes time to actually produce a deliverable.
