The leaves are meshes (Silo uvmapped>>obj>>Poseray>>mesh2). The problem 
is not there. It is in the fact that ideally I need several trace() 
points per leave and choose the highest for its position, then - if 
necessary - reposition the leaf according to the other points. 
Especially where tracks are present, height differences are substantial 
within a small circle.
