AutoMapper define mapping level

Question

public class Foo
{
    public string Baz { get; set; }
    public List<Bar> Bars { get; set; }
}

When I map the class above, is there any way to define how deep I want automapper to map objects? Some pseudo code of what I'm after:

var mapped = Mapper.Map<FooDTO>(foo, opt => { levels: 0 });
// result = { Baz: "" }

var mapped = Mapper.Map<FooDTO>(foo, opt => { levels: 1 });
// result = { Baz: "", Bars: [{ Blah: "" }] }

 var mapped = Mapper.Map<FooDTO>(foo, opt => { levels: 2 });
// result = { Baz: "", Bars: [{ Blah: "", Buzz: [{ Baz: "" }] }] }

// etc...

I'm currently using automapper 3.3 due to a nuget dependency.

You can define map specific MaxDepth like:

Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>().MaxDepth(1);
