Paste the following expression in a notebook and evaluate it.
FrontEndExecute[
FrontEnd`HelpBrowserLookup[
"AddOns",
"Graphics`ContourPlot3D`"
]
]
This will summon the documentation for the standard package
Graphics`ContourPlot3D`. Loading the package into the kernel
will add a definition for a function named ContourPlot3D[].
This function should do what you want. The default behavior
is to generate the level surface f(x, y, z) = 0.
