I've had similar experiences. The 3D image alone looks pretty good, unless
you drape something over it.
Am I right in saying that you need to convert contour lines to points to
take full advantage of the interpolation? It just seems to use the one
point on each polyline as a height value location.
I have also had another problem with draping. I have an Ordnance Survey
5x5km contour file which was converted to points and the grid file created.
I then place the same 5x5km 1:10000 raster bitmap across the top. Their
physical extents are identical. I then create the 3D map and it shrinks the
1:10000 bitmap sheet slightly when it drapes it over the 3D image. You can
see the extents of the 1:10000 bitmap well within the extents of the 3D
image. If you refresh the grid it gets worse - the blue of the reservoir
heads off up the hillside!
Any further thoughts?
Thanks, Ian White

Take a complete map - including roads, polygons and raster images -

The above was taken from the MI v6.0 glossy brochure. The pictures
look OK.........
