I need to create an isosurface from these 4 contours

 ![slices 4](https://discourse.vtk.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/861b28912a3775d0c097e4adfd3cfbdf4949ba32.png)  
each contour is on a plane and the planes are parallel, therefore the 4 contours are parallel.  
I tried a solution similar to this [Stitches](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51321415/close-the-gap-between-a-mesh-and-a-plane/51371094#51371094)  
But contour 3 has several discontinuities as shown in the following image.

Could someone recommend a solution for me.

Miguel, I suspect that with some work you could create a distance field and then isocontour that.
