Lutz,
I was going to say csg or intersection or difference, but I just tried
something that makes it look like a mesh and heightfield can't even be in
the same scene together. I found the .bak file for one of the scenes that
was ruined before (when Moray crashed, it deleted the mesh, the lights, and
the camera from the scene) and found that in the .bak file everything was
still there. I had not yet created a csg, so the mesh and the heightfield
are sharing space, but not combined in any way.
The other scene I was working on has a mesh and the same heightfield,
combined as a csg. This is the one that caused the crash. I can open it, but
if  I click on the csg in the select tab. Moray quits, giving me this
message: "Moray v3.5 for windows has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I just tried re-creating a csg again. I opened a new scene, pasted the mesh
object, and used merge object to get the heightfield. I created a csg and
added the heightfield and the mesh. When I tried to render it, Moray
crashed, giving me the same message. If I even try to open that file, Moray
crashes.
