Stumped on how to create a simple 3D model of a levee

Hi,
I've been asked to create a 3D model of a levee which I know should be easy but I am struggling getting it to look right.
Here is what the data looks like: [ATTACH=CONFIG]32002[/ATTACH]
I think I have set the lines as breaklines correctly and have used the points for height, but the best I can get it looking is this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]32003[/ATTACH]
Obviously the breaklines haven't worked as I had hoped, I have the contours leaving the lines and the levee seems to fold on itself down the bottom end.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I've attached a layer package with the required data.
Any help would be much appreciated as I am very new the the 3rd dimension!

You will need a polygon outside of the data to constrain it to the area that you are using.  I drew a rudimentary one and then set it as a soft clip when creating the TIN.  Also it looks as though your channel points are matched to the crest points.  This seems to be what is causing the levee to look odd to me.  Unless you are simply going to use the lines.
