Hi Ben, Are you using the 3D Layer to Feature Class tool in ArcMap or ArcScene?  The tool uses the 3D layer properties and creates the multipatch.  In ArcMap there are no 3D properties, so the resulting multipatch would be flat.  You will need to run the tool in ArcScene with the 3D properties applied to the layer.

Adam, Currently you cannot create a profile graph to scale.  There is an enhancement request currently logged with support.  You might look to post this idea on the Ideas page - http://ideas.arcgis.com That might help bring some additional support from the community concerning this functionality.

Yeah, I understand your concern.  I think that the command functions are being pushed towards Python.  You can access the Spatial Analyst tools and functions through the Python window so there is less reliance on the raster calculator.  Although it can be difficult to adapt to the new software changes, there are many benefits to learning these new areas within the software. ...

What happens when you zoom in on the image beyond the pyramids?  Do the source rasters have the white lines? If you have ArcEditor or ArcInfo try creating a Mosaic Dataset (unmanaged) with the images and see if the white lines remain.  If images display correctly, you could then export the mosaic dataset out to another raster format. The workflow and tools to create mosaic datasets ... View more
