How do I create a 3D image from x,y,z,m and then analyze with IDW?

I've been using x,y coordinates to create 2-dimensional squares and rectangles using 3D analyst IDW analysis.

Now I want to add z (elevation) to the x,y cartesian coordinates and then analyze conductivity values using 3D analyst IDW analysis. 

I know that a 3-dimensional volumetric box can be created by first analyzing with IDW, then using Project in the geoprocessing pane, then Empirical Bayesian Kriging 3D in the geoprocessing pane, then GA Layer to NetCDF in the geoprocessing pane, then under Add Data, "add multidimensional voxel layer"

You can then right click surfaces on the NetCDF and use the scale bar to show low to high values of your data that was analyzed (in this case conductivity values). This makes a 3-dimensional image.

The below image is where I got this idea, but it creates a volumetric box, and there is no data in much of the area.

I now want to create a similar looking 3-dimensional image from x,y,z coordinates and analyze m (conductivity values), not needing a scale that changes.  The below image is similar to what I'm wanting to create.  A three-dimensional heat map type image with background values transparent and overlaid on a map, either below the ground surface or above. The data will be from a .csv Excel sheet with x,y coordinates with elevation depth and m values from 0-2000. No timescale, just one set of data on one Excel sheet.  If any of this doesn't make sense, I can elaborate.

Thanks for any help!
