Send Jack a consulting invoice-you nailed it. Making a GUI of Arc is a work in progress, and doing it a profile in bloat, Tech support is inconsistent. And the days where ESRI dictated to users and developers are days past. Pre Google days past. Redlands is already aware they could easily become Kodak, a film company in a digital imaging world, or a metal detector looking for plastic explosives. Better wake up and better serve all of us, users and developers and business partners alike.
Well in all fairness the 3D features are a newer thing in Arc that that most people probably don’t use. ESRI has some great tools and also some absurdly stupid issues(names longer than 12 chars, stability,etc)
I was trying to import a vrml file as 3d symbology in arc 9.2. ESRI help said it wasnt possible , I figured it out and it worked anyway. My experience is the tech support doesnt even use ARC
