  There are no solid objects in POV-Ray (nor in any other renderer for
that matter).

  You can create a *closed surface* (which is different from *solid*) if
you like, though.

  If you want to create a cubic closed surface with one side being the
heightfield, create the intersection between the heightfield and a properly
sized box.
